Update #17: Invite Your Friends

Posted on February 29

I’m offering a “Invite Your Friends” concert on Mar. 3 at 7:00 pm. This is a “pay what you can” concert, which means you and your friends can get tickets for as little as one note (10 cents) each. I’ll be performing some top songs from my past and a couple of the new songs at this concert. 

There will also be a Special Requests concert on Saturday, Mar. 3 at 8:10 pm PST. See all my upcoming concerts at: http://www.Stageit.com/BryanDuncan.

I'll walk you through the steps to getting tickets to a Stageit concert.

1) Go to my concert page on Stageit and chose the concert you want to attend.

2) Stageit is a "platform" like Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. Stageit will ask you to set up a profile. You can log in using your Facebook profile (easiest option if you're on Facebook) or just create a Stageit profile with a password of your choosing.

3) Stageit will ask you to "buy" a ticket. Stageit has its own currency, called notes. One note costs 10 cents. The Kickstarter backer concerts and the "Invite Your Friends" concert are "pay what you can" events, which means you can attend for the minimum one note (10 cents). Other concerts are only $5.

Please note that this concert is a bonus in addition to the backer rewards you've selected. Who you'll ask to Saturday's "Invite Your Friends" Internet concert? 

I'd could sure use your help in spreading the word about the Conversations project. You can help by sharing this story or a link directly to the Conversations Kickstarter page.

This project offers your friends and family a chance to join you in sharing the writing and recording process for the new album. It include opportunities to ask me questions and even appear in a video. It could help me get to more cities - hopefully one near you - after the album is done. 

I'm hoping to use the Conversations campaign to draw attention to the great work that so many local charities are doing. If you know of good charities that could use some promotional help, please let them know about this project.
