THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS
MusicMaker
Meet friends. Write songs. Make music.
Austin Texas is the live music capital of the world. Between ACL, SXSW, or any random weekend on 6th Street, Austin plays host to musicians from across the globe. But what about our amazing and talented local musicians? Let’s show everyone the true meaning of the term “live music.” Join us at MusicMaker for a one-night “hackathon” where you will collaborate with fellow musicians and write a song that you’ll perform LIVE for our panel of judges. You bring your instrument of choice (or even just that beautiful set of lungs you reluctantly trot out at karaoke every few months), and we’ll help you take care of the rest.
Organizing Team
Sean Duffy: MakerSquare
Sean has been playing the guitar since he was 16 years old, and has finally (sort of) mastered “Wonderwall” by Oasis.
Alex Mitchell: Music Meets Video
Alex’s resume in music and video is longer than Lynyrd Skynyrd’s live version of Free Bird from their 1976 Knebworth Fair show in Hertfordshire, England. Look it up. It’s glorious.
Luis Berga: Music Meets Video
Luis once did a cover of a cover of a cover of a cover of a cover of a Taylor Swift song. Nobody can determine what the original was, but you should hear his version. It’s fantastic.
Cassie Shankman: Picardy Learning
Cassandra Shankman is an award-winning classical and jazz pianist, dj and electronic musician, composer, orchestrator, and co-founder at Picardy based in Austin, Texas. Read as: she’s legit.
