It is the dream of every musician to go out on tour, connect with fans, conquer hearts and souls and live the adventures that will embellish the rest of our lives. Music was meant to move but, as many find, the obstacles to touring can become over- whelming. The Blue Tango Project (the soulful duo comprised of Argentine Latin Grammy- nominee Maria Volonte and harmonica player Kevin Carrel Footer) shares the nuts and bolts of the approach that has kept them on the road for much of the past 10 years and taken them from Boise to Caracas to Kosovo and seen them freely mix travel in chauffeured embassy limousines with sleeping in Wal-Mart parking lots. Discover why you do not have to be famous to tour the world with your music but you do have to be focused and smart and find your niche. Learn why the first thing to leave behind for successful touring is your ego. We do not have all the answers, but we have found a way that works for us and has kept the adventure full of joy. Join us for a 3-hour workshop where we will share concrete advice (and some colorful anecdotes) to help you take your music where it wants to go.
