Country Conference
Hi all -
Just thought I'd drop you all a line before I head to PDX this morning. I'm on my way to Nashville to give a talk and show clips from The Winding Stream to a pretty august group assembling for the annual International Country Music Conference at Belmont University. I'm honored to be a part of this gathering of historians and academics because these folks take the chronicling of roots music very seriously. I like to think I do, too. But this will be a good way of gauging how good a job I'm doing in that department.
I also hope to catch up with various people connected to the project while I'm in Music City. So I will have a full report when I return.
I'm going to try and talk to some folks about corporate sponsorship while I'm there. If any of you have leads or thoughts about this, I'm all ears.
I'm posting a picture of our new corporate sponsorship package below. Spiffy, no?
We're still reserving places at our Rosanne and Tara Cash Reception on August 27. It just requires a pledge of $150. If you've already pledged $150 or more, you're automatically invited. If you have pledged an amount below $150 and would like to increase it, Kickstarter will let you do that, too. Love to have you at the party.
Well, better finish packing. Thanks again for your support!
Best,
Beth and The Winding Stream Team

On Monday, August 27 from 5 to 7 PM, we're pleased to be hosting an exclusive reception honoring Rosanne Cash and Tara Cash Schwoebel. The lovely Cash sisters have graciously agreed to meet with a group of Winding Stream supporters at a beautiful Portland, Oregon location (TBA). There will be drinks and hors d'oeuvres, clips from the film, gift bags, and other surprises. And best of all Rosanne and Tara will share their thoughts on their family's musical legacy. The event will be limited to 50 people so we think it will be a relaxed and intimate evening of conversation and reminiscence. This reward also includes items from the previous levels - your name on the honor roll, Winding Stream digital wallpaper, sticker, special edition movie poster and a Welcome to the Club DVD, narrated by Rosanne Cash.
