NEMO Music Festival 2005

Charging into its ninth year, NEMO Music Festival is one of North America's premier music industry events. NEMO is three nights of music, featuring almost 250 artist showcases, two full days of panels, workshops, clinics and a music industry trade show. NEMO will take place September 29 - October 1,
2005 in Boston, a city renowned for being a hotbed of new talent and for breaking new acts; such as Howie Day, John Mayer, the Dresden Dolls, and many more.



Almost 2,500 people attend the NEMO Conference: Panelists include major label representatives, managers, publishers, retailers, artists, booking agents,
and much more. The Conference also offers performance clinics, a mentor program, an acoustic stage, and an outdoor stage. Some of the brightest and most talented people in the music business will be at NEMO to share their
knowledge, showcase their talents, and most importantly - have a great time.
