INDIE WEEK CANADA KICKS OFF
OCTOBER 7TH, 2009
DOWNTOWN TORONTO
Indie Week prides itself on being an artist-friendly festival that provides valuable opportunities for networking, exposure, and education through industry panels and seminars mixed in with artist showcases. All showcases have been judged by industry professionals in A&R, management, productions, legal, etc. - meaning accepted artists perform in front of industry. The festival is strategically scheduled to take place the week after Pop Montreal and before Pop Explosion Halifax and CMJ (New York) - giving international and local acts an opportunity to maximize their touring budgets & planning by having an opportunity to take part in more than one festival during the month of October.

Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...
