In our first interview with a female brass player, Kate Amrine talks about music crowdfunding and how she made music a full time career through teaching and performing. When she started music crowdfunding, Kate Amrine was surprised by how many strangers wanted to support her campaign. It wasn’t the random people that made the difference, though. In addition to reading Ariel Hyatt’s book, Crowdstart, she found more success in cultivating and building personal relationships with people she already knew. Now she spends much of her time developing new repertoire and freelancing with groups in the NYC area. She is also the co-head of Brass Chicks, where she writes about and interviews prominent female brass players. Have you connected with me on Instagram?

With 2018 deemed the “year of connection”, musicians are finding email lists more important than ever and focusing less on social media platforms. Some people are rocking their musician email list and some people are resisting it all together. It can be intimidating to figure out what to email about, however, the chance to reach people directly will provide better results. Sending emails regularly shouldn’t make you feel like a pest but I will share my personal recommendations of how often to email and alternative ways to stay in touch with your fans. After all, facilitating relationships with people who like your music is what having fans is all about. Changing Landscapes Why you should focus on your musician email list 2018 Is the Year of Connection Best Way To Facilitate The Fan Discovery Journey Recommendations Whether you’re emailing regularly or regularly worrying about what to email, the idea is to get into the habit of sending emails out to your musician email list so you can consistently engage and maintain the direct fan – musician relationship. Doing so will create a strong bond that can withstand the changing landscapes of the social media world. Resources ABOUT HOST BREE NOBLE Bree Noble is an entrepreneur, musician and speaker.
