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.”
