8th ANNUAL GOGIRLSMUSICFEST SET FOR VENUES GREAT AND SMALL

Nation’s finest independent women musicians to raise money for local animal friendly organizations in twelve cities from Long Beach to Brooklyn

 SUGAR LAND, TX—Ask Madalyn Sklar, the founder of GoGirlsMusic.com, about the state of independent music and her eight annual GoGirlsMusicFest and she’ll tell you it’s going to the dogs…and cats, birds, reptiles, etc. in twelve cities across the U.S.

That’s because Sklar and her GoGirls Elite members are bringing more than music to local venues this year:  proceeds from each city’s event will benefit a local animal-friendly organization or shelter.

“We wanted to do something totally different by allowing each show to choose a local ‘animal friendly’ organization," says Sklar. "I’m a huge animal lover so it just made sense to go this route this year.”

About GoGirlsMusic.com
GoGirls is a unique organization that focuses on advancing the careers of independent female artists. Founded in early 1996, the organization works tirelessly to help artists through education, networking, and events like the GoGirlsMusicFest, Invasion of the GoGirls @ SXSW, Folk Alliance and more. Artists who become involved have the opportunity to perform, have their work reviewed, and get involved with a hardworking group of women who "get things done" in the music scene.
