UPDATE #1: 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival & BEMF CDs Released!



This is a pre-Press Release announcement of the 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival (BEMF 2).
 
BEMF 2 is going full steam ahead and is on target to occur on April 26-28, 2007 at Boise's Visual Arts Collective.  Tickets are now on sale at the BEMF 2 website (http://www.boisemusicians.com/BEMF-2/), and at will go on sale at the Boise Co-Op (888 W Fort St.) and Visual Arts Collective (1419 Grove St.) on April 1.  Ticket prices are $10 a day or $15 for a three day pass (that's a mere $5 day for over 12 hours of some of the most creative music going in the United States).
 
BEMF 2 will feature 23 performances and 18 artists from around the country, including several major representatives of the experimental, avante-garde, and creative music genres from New York, Chicago, California, Seattle, Wisconsin, and British Columbia. This program will truly be a stellar and mind-blowing event for enthusiasts of creative and innovative music art.

IMPORTANT: Because the Boise Experimental Music Festival is fundamentally a non-profit event, it cannot occur without the support from local businesses, organizations, and individuals, who value and wish to support artistic diversity in Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley. In order to cover event costs and help fund travel expenses for top notch artists from around the country, this event cannot proceed without financial donations and sponsorship.
 
If you are or know of a business or individual who may be interested in supporting BEMF 2, please have them contact me at the email or phone number listed below. The website also has a PayPal button and link for people to donate using their Visa or Master cards. All proceeds will go directly to BEMF 2 costs and musician travel.
 
And finally, I have a very special announcement and opportunity for individuals to support this year's festival. Excerpts of the 1st Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival are now available on a two CDs (BEMF Vol. 1 and BEMF Vol. 2) for $11.99 each.  As with sponsors and those who donate, all proceeds will go directly to BEMF 2 event and musician travel costs with the ultmate goal of everyone breaking even!  You can view more information, listen to MP3 samplers, or buy the two CDs at this web page: http://www.boisemusicians.com/experimental/CD.htm
 
A very special thank you also goes to the musicians on these CDs, who were generous enough to allow the sale of their live performances to support the experimental music scene in Boise, Idaho, USA.  Hats off to you all, ladies and gentlemen! :)
 
Cheers,
