SONG CONTEST BLOG

Just returned from Dfest.  The event was truly awesome.  Tom and Angie, the power couple behind the Tulsan extravaganza, cut no corners and personally addressed every detail to ensure one of the most enjoyable and professionally productive weekends I have had in a very long time.  I am confident that this sentiment is shared by my fellow panelists and the 30,000 odd music fans who congregated to bear witness to the likes of Cake, The Black Crowes, Citizen Cope, Gogol Bordello, and many many others.  Whether you’re an industry pro, musician or music fan, make sure that Dfest is in your schedule for next summer!

I’m at Dfest in Tulsa, OK.  This morning, I found a small envelope under my door with my name on it.  Inside, on branded stationary, a handwritten note from a band called Adam’s Attic, which said:

Lior,

We would be honored if you could make it out to our Dfest showcase.  We would love to meet you afterwards.

Best regards,

Signed

I love it.  It’s personalized and I can see that the person behind this note made a real effort to try and connect with me.  I imagine that he or she looked my name up in the Dfest directory, found out which hotel I am staying at and my room number, and decided on the best way to get my attention without pissing me off.

There are a lot of bands playing this weekend.  I will make every effort to catch Adam’s Attic’s show and, if I get the chance, speak to the band in person.  This blog post is the least I can do.

Details of the show and contact information were included, of course.

You don’t need to do much to make a real and lasting impression.
