MUSIC SA'S LOUDER THAN WORDS ROADSHOW - NORTHERN SUBURBS

There's no better way to kick off Australian Music Month (November) than with a hot showcase of SA's talent (9 bands will be performing for only a gold coin donation entry fee!!), and a free workshop to help our muso's get a headstart in the industry.

The state's premier music website, MusicSA (www.musicsa.com.au ), is proud to present the 3rd instalment of its popular LOUDER THAN WORDS Roadshow series, supported by ArtsSA, AUSMUSIC SA, City of Salisbury & APRA.

MusicSA is a non-profit, government funded website that promotes all aspects of the SA Music Industry. The Roadshow is a non-profit event, which gives musicians of outer-metro regions access to a wealth of support and information on how to succeed in the industry.

The showcase itself offers new opportunities for live performance by emerging musicians in the region, and of course, it is also a lot of fun for music-lovers of all ages!  

The November 2006 'Louder Than Words' Roadshow will focus on Adelaide's Northern Suburbs, and features a live showcase of established & emerging bands, plus a free workshop on the SA music industry.
