~welcoming all MANITOULIN MUSICIANS~

~To help locate and promote local artists of any genre. This island is heavily populated by musicians of all kinds---let's join together and help each other get 'ourselves' heard.

While planning a benefit concert for my own fund-raising purposes, I realized that it's very difficult to find local artists and bands. We have had to email and phone many people through 'word-of-mouth'. Let's join together here and make it easier for networking purposes.

This group is not just for professionals, but for anyone that plays any instrument, or sings.

Feel free to send me your name, band/musician info, website links if you have them, your facebook/myspace profiles, youtube vids....etc. in a comment window and I'll add it to here in a blog post, as well make a list of LINKS for others to easily "click & search".

If you just want to jam, looking for new buds to chillax with and play some tunes.....then look here!

Promote this blog to all of your musician friends, and let's make this one successful network!
