About the event

LV16 panel series - Press for Independent Artists panel at LSPU Hall Second Space.


1:30pm / FREE / All Ages


Join Matt Horseman, Jess Arcand, Jake Thompson, and Corey Steinke for a candid conversation about navigating press, epks, and cold call show booking as an independent artist. Listen as the panelists tackle a litany of queries on the topic: How does one prepare assets for press releases, festival applications, and show booking? How do you stand out on a press release or email while remaining authentic to your artistic vision? How do you find an audience through the noise as an independent artist while artists on major labels have corporate marketing budgets? What makes a compelling bio? How do journalists choose which music to publish?


Panelists: Matt Horseman, Jess Arcand, and Jake Thompson

Moderator: Corey Steinke

We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, whose culture has now been erased forever. We also acknowledge the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) as the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. And we acknowledge Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu of Nitassinan, the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, and the Inuit of NunatuKavut. We recognize all First Peoples who were here before us, those who live with us now, and the seven generations to come. As First Peoples have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land and to respect the cultures, ceremonies, and traditions of all who call it home. As we open our hearts and minds to the past, we commit ourselves to working in a spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all.
