The Best of All Access Radio

 

It's always the best who are committed to being better. This is 100% true of the industry leaders and creative geniuses I've been fortunate to work with, and especially to interview over the last 2 years. My weekly podcast series, "All Access Radio," has now reached the half million mark in listeners!  As we enter our 3rd year of groundbreaking interviews in 2013 (and the 15th anniversary of my consulting business) it's a milestone well worth recognizing.


In the next few weeks, I will be publishing my first two "Best of" volumes - one focusing on industry leaders and one focused on giants in the music business. I'll send you all a quick note when these two audiobooks go live on Audible.com - and if you would like to BE interviewed on my weekly fireside chat, please email me at info@AllAccessRadio.com 

 

Best wishes, Kelli Richards
CEO of the All Access Group.

A Focus on The NAMM Show

This Saturday, January 26th, at the Anaheim Convention Center, from 2:30pm-3:30pm PST, I will host an exciting panel of experts for The NAMM Show"Bands Inc - Running Your Band as a Business (and as a Brand)".  
At a time when digital distribution is the tail that wags the dog, it's critical for artists and bands to see themselves as a branded business. They must be more responsible than ever to build a strong team around them, to embrace working with consumer brands to increase exposure and find funding, and to engage more actively in social media and D2F (direct to fan) initiatives.   

 

*It's worth noting that my Amazon #1 Bestseller, "Taking The Crowd to the Cloud - Social Media for the Music Industry," will be re-released with new and updated info. With social platforms changing almost daily, anyone and everyone in the music space MUST be armed with step-by-step how-to and cutting-edge info.  

 

The show runs through the 27th, and in addition to all of the new products and tech being unveiled at NAMM, there are great professional development sessions and unique product pavilions to explore. Year after year, NAMM keeps attendees on the cutting edge of business trends and new tech, and it's a privilege to be a presenter there again. Join me on Saturday 1/26 and hear from some of the key players in the ecosystem who enable and inspire bands to thrive, as the industry continues to reinvent itself.
