INDIE MUSIC BUS AND RMS IN PARTNERSHIP!

We are excited to announce that Rosner Management Services and Indie Music Bus have aligned for a strategic partnership in key areas of the music business. Two strong brands working together, with a vision of helping indie artists and label artists develop in the areas they need most! Indie Music Bus has a strong following and connections in many areas that can help artists connect with others in their field. Creator Walter D Hargrave, has shown a steadfast vision, as he has grown it over the years. Now the music business is turning a corner and there are new ways of profitability for artists and industry people. Rosner Management Services, based in Vancouver B.C., has been growing its reach as well, over the past few years and is now in a dozen countries around the world and has over 70 artists, all working together, with and for each other. The partnership between these two companies, will focus on artist growth, achieving sponsorships for artists through the Music Sponsor Network and collaboration in A & R and this is perhaps the tip of the iceberg! RMS is producing a worldwide TV show called RiseUp TV, being filmed in Canada in May 2018 and now confirmed for October 2019 in the U.K., with a US tour being filmed in 2018 as well. The show will film hundreds of artists from around the world, all travelling together on a huge tour bus for weeks at a time. Should be amazing! Hence, when we heard about Walter's vision for the Indie Music Bus, it seemed like a no brainer, as the two companies seem perfectly in line with each other. In the past few weeks, we have landed sponsorships from such companies as Yamaha, Theo Wanne, Highways to Fairways, Musiflik and more! If you are an artist wanting to be involved, industry person or a company that is interested in becoming a sponsor on the Music Sponsor Network, our promotion network is second to none, as we have a huge organic reach, both locally and internationally. Check it out, and get on board for the rise early!

How About that Rise Up Tour?

Hey everyone,

How about that Rise Up tour.

Well for me, it was my first to many things.

1- Frist time in Ontario… where I was greeted as a good songwriter.

2- First tour… where I understood the real life of an artist on the road. One has to be prepared because the challenges are numerous and so are the joys.

3- First time where I've met so many Canadian songwriters… great connections were made and I hope to meet them again.

So in the end, my album is due late this summer and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

See you in September!!

Introduction To Keats JP

 

 

Music is my life. And working towards a dream is a full time job (along with having

to earn a living). The new addition to my ‘dream chasing’ team is the Rosner

Management team and they have started a new chapter with me  - they have done

such a great job these last few weeks of educating me on the first steps to popular,

professional musicianship.

 

I had the pleasure of attending the ‘RISE UP TOUR’ show in Toronto which

proved to be not only entertaining, but also very educational – what do I want to be

doing in the future? What kind of show do I want to put on?
 

 
 

I am now in the process of moving apartments, but have also begun planning

my first fundraising performance or a ‘House Concert’  hoping to get started on

that NEW SINGLE. Makes me feel a little apprehensive, - and insecure for sure, and I

have no idea what I’m doing – but I’m learning.

 

My mom always says “You don’t have to know what you want… but you have

to figure out what you DON'T want.” I’m learning more about myself and my craft

everyday and I am so lucky to now be able to share it with my new founded friends

and team; but also with all of you.

 

Signing off for now,

 

Keats JP

Trail of Tears - Behind the Song

 

    Recently, Trail of Tears was released to radio as my very first radio single. I'm a little behind on radio releases but I am so excited to finally get the ball rolling! So far, there are about twenty radio stations who have picked it up! I think that this is perfect timing. With my National Aboriginal Day performance coming up, and Trail of Tears on the radio, I've decided to post a video onto YouTube this Friday! As always, stay tuned on here and via my Twitter @SierraJamerson for everything #TeamSJ. Trail of Tears is a song written about the historical event of the same name.

 

   Following the Indian Removal Act of 1830, members of the Cherokee, Choctow, Muscogee, Chickasaw and Seminole tribes were forcibly relocated from their traditional lands in southeast U.S to an area west of Mississippi, Indian Territory. Of the 16,000 who were moved, up to 6000 perished in the trek, much of which took place during winter. I have Choctaw ancestry on my mother's side but I wrote this song not only in honour of the Indigenous people who died during the Trail of Tears. It is also in honour of the Tahltan struggle to preserve our Sacred Headwaters from exploitation and resource accumulation by Shell Oil.

 

    Many Tahltans still live on our traditional territory, downstream from where the proposed mines and environmental destruction were to take place. We still live off the land to a large extent, being so far north that store bought food and goods are quite expensive. My own grandmother and many other grandmother's risked their freedom in protest to protect this land, in turn ensuring that a natural area considered by scientists to be a major lung of the earth, would continue to live on. This sounds like ancient history, but it all took place about ten years ago, and continues to be negotiated to this day. 

 

    My elders have charged me with the responsibility to go forth and share the message of my people with the world, and I am pleased to do so with Trail of Tears. Look out for more celebrations of Aboriginal history and culture this Sunday, in Churchill Square with my band, on your radio dial, and on YouTube. Love, SJ

AfterThoughts

    Well, the Rise Up Tour has wrapped up, and all in all it seemed to be a total success! The reviews ive read from all of the RMS artists is all been positive and everyone involved had a great time. So badass. I had a great time too! I ended up doing the tour as a solo act, with just me and my guitar, and I sure learnt alot in that! 

First thing I learnt: I need a guitar case, and, an electric guitar will never sound the way an acoustic sounds, so, for future solo acts, no more using an electric, its gotta be an actual acoustic 

#2: Always double check your time slot like the second u show up, during the tour, I almost missed my first set in Vancouver completely but managed to get 4 songs in after all my confusion (also learnt in vancouver always GET REST BEFORE A PERFORMANCE)

  I also almost missed my set in Calgary, I was told I would be on at midnight, so showed up at 1120 ish, and then got told the last act went on at 1130!!! Learnt: Show up earlier for future shows and stay there even if my ADD is making want to go do other things til i have to go on... I did though, end up playing at midnight in Calgary, and got my full set in and ended up having a total blast... Oh and I also missed my set in Saskatoon, I thought i went on at 11 showed up just before 11 and apperently i was on at 10! I ended up still going on at around midnight, but people who had came to see me play ended up leaving because they thought i wasnt coming...DOH

#3) Dont touch anything that isnt yours. All I did was grab a mic stand to move it and i ended up snapping it in hf on stage...let the sound dudes move everything...NOTED!

#4) Drinking Fire is kind of fun, i should have a drink of flames before i start every set

There is a lot more I learnt but these were the big ones! Lots to work on for the future Which I am hoping involves more touring beceause despite the mistakes and etc its so much fun!!!! 

Cant wait to do that all again

Meditations

Tomorrow's Unknown

Tonight I am just sitting here thinking to myself, I am blessed. Though life has been incredibly difficult at times, I keep my head up, staying positive. Who knows what tomorrow brings, we are always, always venturing into the unknown if you think about it. Usually we do it alone, 'cause we're so focused on our demanding, busy lives, and I get it; I live one too- I respect what you're going through, but sometimes we've got to slow down and take a moment. With that being said, every waking moment i give thanks for another day, another day to breathe, laugh, live, spend time with loved ones, the little family I've created. My beautiful wife, children. So no matter what the past has brought, or what tomorrow brings, I live for the things in life worth living for. Yes, everyday I work hard earning an income for my family doing what i have to do to maintain and live as comfortable as I can with what I have, but the materialistic items, well they mean nothing to me.

I just possess the things I have, for I have earned them, from working hard, because I can, not because I "love" them. We must live our lives for what they are truly worth: family, friends, children, the paradise around us- Serenity, Peace, Love, Harmony. For tomorrow is not known, and if we get to caught up in the chase of money, the stuff we have, needing more, and forget what's right in front of us, then who knows, it may all be gone tomorrow. Before you know it, you blinked your eyes and its gone. Take nothing for granted. Help a person out that needs it, be someone's ray of faith, change a life. If today you change one life, and yes one may not seem a lot to you but maybe tomorrow you change the lives of 2, maybe even 3 people? Start a chain effect, and we start to come together, and every day that we do it makes venturing into the unknown (tomorrow) not so scary, for we don't have to do it alone. Spread love, make peace, take nothing for granted and let us live as equals, in harmony, 'cause what if tomorrow never came and we spent our whole lives arguing?
