GROUND FLOOR MEETING IN LONDON ON
April 25 in London ON
The artist of faith in Canada faces a number of obstacles in pursuing their goals - fortunately, the lack of coordination and communication is one obstacle that can be overcome. The Ground Floor meeting that will be held on April 25 in London (chosen for its centrality) has resulted from discussions between Marty Gast (emit ridge) and myself regarding the need for communication and networking. All artists (music, graphic,writers), promoters and interested parties are invited.
There is no cost for the 1:00 meeting. The agenda is that there is none - only to assemble and discuss. Out of this meeting will be a comprehensive list of independent and signed artists and promoters, with a view to combining our efforts to become more effective at what we do.
We do have some ideas that we will be sharing at the meeting as well, as to how this can be achieved through things such as radio promotion and showcasing and working with the colleges and universities. First Baptist Church is located in downtown London, in the centre of a number of restaurants, so no one will suffer.
Optional after Ground Floor will be the Taking Your Music Seriously Seminar, which has developed from years of working in the music industry, and Cafe Etc. in the evening. Cafe Etc. is THE place to play in London.

Chatham, Ontario - Geoff Laforet (Drummer for Leaderdogs For The Blind) and Ryan T. Richardson (Lawyer-Type) have formed RIPPLE MANAGEMENT & MEDIA RELATIONS!
Combining Geoff's experience as an Artist and Ryan's background in Entertainment Law, RIPPLE exists to
a) humbly and aggressively represent artists who desire to communicate Truth to their generation, and
b) help those artists set and achieve their artistic, spiritual and financial goals.
"RIPPLE" comes partially from the intention to make waves in the music industry and partially from the Leaderdogs' song of the same name - the Leaderdogs being Ryan's first clients. Ryan states, "However, the name comes mainly from the fact that, like Ripple ice cream, Geoff and I are Swirl... but we've got Chocolate down deep in our soul."
RIPPLE currently manages the careers of
- DUMB AS SHEEP (featured on the Fall 98 hm Sampler) http://www.dumbassheep.on.ca
- THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH (Stylistically compared to EDL and Limp Bizkit)
- 2FISH (Motor City Blues - the upcoming album, "Little Boy's Lunch" features harp by Glenn Kaiser) http://www.2fish.org
as well as representing Geoff's musical pursuits.
THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH will be playing in Chatham at THE EDGE, 150 King Street West, on Friday, March 26 and at REFUGE (NewSong Church) in Windsor on March 27.
