Update #4: Weathervane to receive Matching Funds!!!
Posted on October 9, 2009
Well, folks, it's been a great week. Katonah and I made it down to Washington DC earlier in the week for the Future of Music Coalition's annual Policy Summit. There we met Yancy Strickler, the man who founded and heads up Kickstarter, and we saw and participated in several important panel discussions and debates about several laws and trends affecting musicians and the music industry.
But while we were there, there was great news: I learned that Weathervane Music will receive Matching Funds in 2010 from El Paso Natural Gas. Joan Saldago, a past Weathervane supporter, and participant in our current Kickstarter fund drive has just informed us that she submitted Weathervane as a potential El Paso Natural Gas employee giving campaign recipient for 2010, and guess what? It was approved!
So who's gonna top that! Let's hope there's more of this to come! For those of you who have already pledged, we thank you on behalf of the many great artists we will support in 2010. If you work at a company that has a similar Employee Giving/Matching Funds program, PLEASE CONSIDER SUGGESTING WEATHERVANE MUSIC! THis is not only a great way to raise money, but it also helps us raise awareness outside of our conventional circles as well!
As you know we're setting our goal for this campaign at $3000. We've got about 22 days to reach that goal, so please help us spread the word!

Project By
Connected as Brian D. McTear (1514 friends)
Weathervane Music was founded in 2009 by Philadlephia musician and record producer Brian McTear to fill a widening gap in music left by disappearing revenue streams in a failing music industry. The goal of all Weathervane projects is to provide professional level experience and career opportunity for deserving artists, while promoting a clear understanding of the necessary role that audiences must play in the creation of music. A quality foundation for tomorrow’s music economy can only come from a healthy music ecosystem today.
Weathervane produces its flagship project, Shaking Through, with WXPN radio in Philadelphia and is a project of PositiveSpace, a Fishtown-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to create a network of local artists to exchange creative ideas and to promote new opportunities for emerging and established artists in the community. All donations made to Weathervane Music are through PositiveSpace, and as such are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
