I can
officially confirm it to you now -- yes, I will be attending the legendary CMJ Music Marathon happening this week here in good ol' New York. It will be my first CMJ has a member of the Press (how fancy!) representing MelismaticBlog.com (just one month away from my five year anniversary, ya'll!). For those of you who are not quite as familiar, this is an annual festival -- spotlighting mostly indie and new artists. It also plays house to industry parties, panels and events. Basically, it's like Fashion Week for music nerds like yours truly.
>>>>>If you're attending the CMJ Marathon here in NYC and want to meet up, feel free to tweet me via @melismaticdiva! <<<<<
My schedule isn't too dangerous -- the festival runs from Tuesday through Saturday with artist showcases running in over 80 (yes, 80) different venues all over Manhattan & Brooklyn -- but it is pretty ambitious for a first timer (especially considering I just survived my first Comic Con -- pics available on my Instagram). I won't be too bummed if I don't make it to everything I'm gunning for, but you can expect a full wrap up of the events I do attend on Sunday.
