WAM (The West Australian Music Industry Association Inc) is proud to present a Touring Music Industry Panel throughout regional West Australia as part of WAM's regional program area. The tour will cover most major regional centres in WA and some smaller ones too.

WAM will bring the cream of the WA's Music Industry identities to the musicians, managers, and labels who are based outside of the metropolitan area to talk music business. The focus subject of these panels is based on "How to release a CD to music media and industry." The panel will cover topics such as media and press packs, radio, record labels (majors and indie's), distribution, publicity, funding and loads more.

The first leg of this tour through the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of WA benefited over 40 musicians and aspiring music managers. The next tour through the Wheatbelt region starts on Saturday July 19 in Northam. Featuring panellists Heath Bradby, Luke Rinaldi and local media identities in each centre.
