SUMMARY:Artist Development Incubator Workshop at The Well (Koinonia)
DESCRIPTION:The Well (Koinonia / Music Row) is committed to serving the creative community in Nashville\, whether that be by providing a comfortable place to meet or work\, a break from your studio session\, or an ever-important stage on which to perform. With that in mind we are happy to offer the Artist Development Incubator Workshop for songwriters\, artists\, and industry leaders. Host John J. Thompson brings publishers\, artist managers\, booking agents\, artists\, labels\, and others together to bring real-world\, up-to-the-minute advice and counsel to creatives looking for answers. \nThis month we officially launch our “membership” program and kick off a full year of intentional\, focused\, professional conversations with guest John P. Strohm. Mr. Strohm recently served as the President of Rounder Records. Before that he lead the Entertainment division at the lawfirm of Loeb and Loeb. And back in the 90s he was a songwriter and artist himself. We are going to talk about what record labels are doing (or should be doing) today\, and what is working and not working. Since independent artists are labels unto themselves we are sure to glean some critical knowledge about what each of us should be doing right now in terms of marketing\, distribution\, branding\, and more. As always\, we build in plenty of time for you to make new friends\, build some new connections\, and establish creative endeavors. \n  \nThe suggested donation to Music At The Well for each monthly meeting will be $10. Any artist or writer who wants to attend but cannot afford the suggested donation is encouraged to request a scholarship by simply dropping me an email. But – the REAL value kicks in with the BETA version of our Incubator Membership Program. For just $65 you will receive access to 12 months of gatherings PLUS you will be sent audio recordings from each session\, and follow-up notes\, and will be added to a private group for members only. We plan to offer 2-3 “members only” events throughout the year as well. And even if you missed our first gathering\, anyone signing up for the membership will be sent a link to download the audio from last month as well.

SUMMARY:Electric Jesus Film Screening & Reception (Atlanta)
DESCRIPTION:THIS JUST IN: Due to unforeseen circumstances\, John will NOT be in attendance at this special RELEASE-EVE screening in ATL! but we still encourage ALL TRUE TUNES FANS not to miss this rare chance to see your NEW favorite rock and roll movie on a big screen\, to meet writer/director Chris White and other members of the cast and crew\, and to have a great time in general.\n\n\n\nPRE-SCREENING HAPPY HOUR AT BELL STREET BURRITOS / KROG STREET LOCATION\, 4-6 PM\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nTHE 80’s HAIR METAL MUSIC-COMEDY YOU’VE BEEN SAVING YOURSELF FOR!\n\n\nELECTRIC JESUS\, a coming of age\, rock-and-roll comedy\, follows the ill-fated exploits of a religious hair metal band during the summer of 1986. \nThe film stars The Office’s Brian Baumgartner as the band’s woebegone road manager\, 80’s teen icon Judd Nelson as a firebrand preacher\, and newcomers Andrew Eakle\, Shannon Hutchinson\, and Wyatt Lenhart as devout teens determined to “make Jesus famous.” \nELECTRIC JESUS has been making waves in the U.S. film festival circuit\, winning numerous awards and converting hundreds of devotees. It is a stunning breakout from writer-director Chris White\, who co-produced the film with his wife Emily Reach White and co-wrote the film’s original songs with alt-rock musician Daniel Smith. \nMining his own experiences as an Evangelical teenager\, White pushes past the hoary clichés of both music and faith-based genres\, delivering a film that resists sentimentality\, preferring to lean hard into the awkward\, strange\, and sometimes wonderful world of youthful devotion to cause. \nPRESENTED BY: 1091 Pictures\, Blue Tape Records\, Drama\, Inc.\, Moonshine Post\, MPX\, Plaza Theatre\, Sabotage Film Group\, and Wild Heaven Beer. \nCheck out our special PODCAST EPISODE with the CAST from the set \nand don’t miss our in-depth conversation with composer Daniel Smith \nor our recent episode that brings Electric Jesus writer/director Chris White together with Andy Erwin (The Jesus Music.)
