Like the idea of getting paid for your music? Licensing and placement for movies, TV and commercials can be a lucrative market, but only if your music is Placement Ready. The crucial first step in that process is to have your works registered with the Copyright Office. In this Artists in Sync Workshop, Music Attorney Dave Ratner explains the benefits of copyrighting your music and walks you through the process.

SPOKESBUZZ PRESENT THE THIRD ANNUAL BANDSWAP OCTOBER 1st
Eight cities and fourteen bands participated in the Second Annual BandSwap, hosted by Fort Collins’ own SpokesBUZZ, which took place in the last two weekends in September and the first weekend in October, 2013. The concept of BandSwap is fairly simple – take bands from Fort Collins and Denver with a good-sized local audience draw and partner them with artists from other cities with similar crowd numbers in their respective markets. Getting members of each community, from venue owners to local government and arts officials, to work on staging events that expose out-of-town artists to a built-in, welcoming fan base is a radical concept. Last year’s inaugural event was well documented in a video short, viewable HERE. Results from this 2013 BandSwap were documented in a project report; contact us for a copy!
Where: The Hi-Dive, 7 South Broadway, Denver
When: Wednesday, October 1st
Time: Doors at 8:30; show at 9:30
Bands: The Yawpers and Jordan Igoe (see bios below)
Cost: $10
Age: Over 21 show only
SpokesBuzz website has videos of the two featured bands.
The Yawpers
Led by dynamic young singer-songwriter/guitarist Nate Cook, young Boulder trio The Yawpers (named after Walt Whitman’s promise to “sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world”) recall a grittier version of Wilco, with as much raw country sensibility as twisted indie imagination. Equally akin to Deer Tick, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and Elvis, The Yawpers give a fresh blend of indie-country and rock ‘n’ roll. The band’s debut CD, Savage Blue, is due 11/29/2011 on Adventure Records.
The partnership between Adventure Records and the Yawpers aims to bring soulful, Southern-tinged rock ‘n’ roll from the Front Range to the larger music world. Savage Blue was recorded in three locations – with former Smashing Pumpkins engineer Bill Douglas in Colorado Springs, with talented young engineer Tira Neal at tastefully lo-fi studio in Broomfield, and at Yawpers guitarist Jesse Parmet’s apartment/studio in Boulder. Highlighting the simultaneous romance and ravage of singer/guitarist Nate Cook, Savage Blue alternates between sinister indie dirge ala The Black Angels; poignant, off-the-rails Exile On Main St.-style rock; and desolate, dusty balladry.
Equally akin to Deer Tick, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and Elvis, The Yawpers give a fresh blend of alt-country and rock ‘n’ roll. And they’re playing in your town very soon.

Nate Cook – Guitar & Lead Vocals
Jesse Parmet – Guitar & Back Up Vocals
Adam Perry – Drums & Back Up Vocals
Jordan Igoe
Born and raised in Charleston, SC, Jordan Igoe is a singer-songwriter, whose songs are as Southern and soulful as she is. The multi-instrumentalist has been playing professionally for over ten years as a solo performer, and with a rotating lineup of stellar backup musicians around Charleston and regionally around the Southeast. Having grown up in a musical family, Igoe taught herself how to play the piano at age 10 and picked up the guitar a few years later, and writes catchy, heartfelt songs with both instruments. It is her raw, soulful voice, however, that immediately grabs the listener and holds on.
