Approved Quotes:
Christopher Penn, PodCamp Co-Founder:
"Podsafe music and the support of podsafe musicians is one of the key
reasons podcasting survived its early days. Music is universal to every
culture, every society, and without it, I doubt podcasting would have been
more than a passing blip on the radar. As a token of our thanks to podsafe
musicians, PodCamp Boston is creating a stage for those podsafe musicians
attending to perform, present, and offer their skills and talents to the
new media community. I strongly encourage all PodCamp attendees to give
these musicians a listen and show their support by picking up an album or
two."
Matthew Ebel:
"Given the support that the podcasting community has shown me over the past
two years, I couldn't think of a more fitting venue for the release of my
fourth album."
Grace Buford:
"As a musician I want to reach as wide an audience as I can. Playing at
PodCamp is an excellent opportunity to connect with an audience that might
otherwise have not had the chance to hear my work. It's also a chance to
play in front of a much larger audience than I previously have. I'm honored
that PodCamp music organizer Michelle Wolverton believes in my music enough
to invite me to participate in such a great event."
