Join us for this special event at the end of the tour where Jenny Toomey will give the presentation that she gave at the law schools during the fall speaking tour, this time in front of the indie rock audience.

During the presentation, Toomey outlines the structural problems of the traditional music industry, and the reasons why musicians have historically been left out of the policy debates that affect their livelihood. Then she describes how the internet and other new business models could provide workable alternatives to the flawed business structures.

In addition we have invited Philadelphia’s Mazarin and Lester Chambers of the Chambers Brothers to perform. Recently, Lester has spoken publicly about his frustrating personal experiences with the music industry, as both a performer and author of some of the most famous songs in the rock lexicon. We're thrilled that he will be joining us for this show!

Please join us for this special event.
