KICKS OFF YAMI AND MUSIC MONTH Submitted by: Celine Van de Eecken
Celebrating 10 years of YAMI (Youth + Adults in the Music Industry), this one-of-a-kind weekend summit guides musicians and music-lovers keen to pursue a career in the industry. The not-for-profit event brings in expert tutors with in-depth experience in performance, management, copyright, royalties, engineering, tech, recording, sync industry, album release, touring, and production. On Saturday night (3 May), the general public is treated to performances from Tom Scott (Home Brew, Avantdale Bowling Club), Gin Wigmore, Haz + Miloux, and Bobby Brazuka (Latinaotearoa), supported by choir and bands.
On Sunday night (4 May), the ever-popular YAMI showcase features Barnaby Weir (The Black Seeds, Fly My Pretties) as this year’s Kiwi Legend, who performs alongside songwriters, producers and musicians. Tutors and speakers from The Teskey Brothers, Black Comet, The Nudge, The Nomad, Roundhead Studios, NZ On Air, APRA, NZ Music Commission, Concord Publishing, Twice The Hype, Mind Your Music, and inspiring local tutors round off this ground-breaking summit. Put together by a crew of passionate volunteers and interns, this is a weekend not to be missed! Tickets and more information of these unforgettable nights of original music in Wānaka are on www.yami.nz or www.ticketfairy.com
