ROCKRGRL Presents “I Will Survive: Making a Living in the Music Business”

There is so much to love about this. ROCKRGRL Magazine – this already makes me want to woo, and I’m not a big wooer – is hosting a day-long symposium, “I Will Survive: Making a Living in the Music Business,” on December 6 at the Institute for Musical Arts in Goshen, MA. If my career as an internationally known, wildly successful hip hop star (“Short Stack”) wasn’t, you know, all in my head, I’d be there in a heartbeat.

From the release:

ROCKRGRL Day’s Keynote Speaker is the legendary Robin Lane, recording artist and iconic fixture in the Northeast’s music scene of the early ‘80s. As the charismatic voice behind Robin Lane and the Chartbusters, she released three albums on Warner Brothers and her video for the hit song, “When Things Go Wrong” was the 11^th video ever played by MTV on its first day of broadcast on August 1, 1980. Robin was dropped from her label when she decided to have a child. Today, she lends her talents to A Woman’s Voice, a songwriting program she created and facilitates for trauma survivors in prisons, women’s centers, senior centers and at-risk youth programs. A documentary about her life is currently in the works.

Robin Lane will be interviewed by ROCKRGRL Magazine founder Carla DeSantis, an advocate for women in music.

The all day symposium will continue with three panels:

• Yesterday: Are the Glory Days of the Music Industry Behind Us?
• Today: How To Make a Living In Tough Economic Times
• Tomorrow: What Will a Career in Music Look Like in the Future?
