Billboard Magazine Digital Music Conference on USB Wristband

We just returned from the Billboard Magazine Digital Music Live! Conference at CES.
Aderra recorded each session and burned it to USB wristbands which were distributed to all attendees and speakers. The live music USB wristbands included a User Dashboard that played the recordings, displayed a photo gallery of each session and included links to Billboard's online content.
Highlights of the day were a surprisingly sharp Q&A with Soulja Boy, Akon's description of how he writes songs specifically to be ringtones, and Douglas Merrill's digital vision for EMI. The most interesting point reiterated throughout the conference on every panel and in every keynote was that the future of music includes multichannel methods for fan outreach including live music digital recording to USB drives.

Amazing Canadian Group - Shaye

Shaye opened up for Willie Nelson on the Canadian leg of his latest tour. I was absolutely blown away by these three girls. Every note they sang was perfect, even at soundcheck. To top it off theoir songs are very strong. Listen to them on the Shaye Website

Aderra Live in a Flash at Red Rocks with Big Head Todd and the Monsters

June 2, 2007 - The cold hail and rain that fell on the crowd at Red Rocks on Saturday night were beaten back by a blistering set by Big Head Todd and The Monsters. Playing at their annual charity show for Children's Hospital's Autism program, the band barnstormed through two hours of monster grooves including this smokin version of James Brown's classic Sex Machine. 8,000 of the band's hometown fans filled this unique venue to full capacity.

Aderra was there capturing every note. Fans were able to reserve a copy of the show by buying a wristband at the souvenir stands before the concert began. The wristbands could then be traded in for a "direct download" MP3 on a USB flash drive of the show on their way out of the ampitheater. In addition, fans who didn't reserve a copy before the set started were able to take this inspiring performance home by picking up a copy of the BHTM jumpdrive on the way to the parking lot.
