May 1 is the final deadline for the opportunity for female musicians
in all styles of music to apply for an official showcase at MEOW Con –
the inaugural international three-day music conference on the state of
women in music.
Produced by Musicians for Equal Opportunities for Women (aka MEOW),
the conference will be held October 24-26, 2013 at the Renaissance
Hotel in Austin, Texas. There is a total of 100 available performance
slots and artists in all genres of music are encouraged to apply.
Selected artists will receive complimentary registration for the
conference.
Keynote speaker for MEOW Con is legendary "rock chick" Suzi Quatro
(pictured left). Since beginning her career as a bass player 50 years
ago, Quatro has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. She will
also receive the prestigious Woman of Valor Award at a dinner in her
honor on October 24th. Past Woman of Valor Award recipients are Ann
and Nancy Wilson of Heart (2000), Patti Smith (2005) and Fanny (2007).
MEOW Con is the only conference of its kind. Not only will it feature
panel discussions, workshops, performances, a trade show and
networking opportunities, but it will also examine the cultural impact
of how women in music are perceived through the lens of film,
literature, blogs and traditional music journalism.
Showcase applications will be taken in three ways, through Sonicbids,
PayPal and through the mail. All entries must be postmarked or
completed by midnight on May 1 to be considered. Applications will be
selected by a team of industry experts.
"Our goal is to elevate the state of women in music in every way,"
explains MEOW Director Carla DeSantis Black. "We want to ensure that
women have opportunities to achieve success on their own terms, and
that artists at every level of their career have a voice. MEOW Con is
the place for everyone to strategize ways to end sexism in this
industry."
The cost to attend MEOW Con is $200 through June 30th. Women of Valor
Dinner tickets are $125 and sold separately through www.meowcon.eventbrite.com.
