Second Turn Up! Conference For Sunshine Coast To Focus On Playing Live

Jeff Chandler (Gympie Music Muster) will speak at Turn Up!
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard launched 'Scene Magazine' in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative in the mid-naughties. Social media remains a complete mystery to him. He's been spotted at raves, hip hop concerts, Motown revivals, judged battle of the bands, shot video for opening night and national awards red carpet, partnered with music industry showcases, comedy festivals and myriad other cultural productions ... and he interviewed Eddie Izzard. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford comma — way too much fun at parties.

Musicians and musically-minded people, from the Sunshine Coast area and beyond, are invited to attend the second Turn Up event in less than a year.


The free conference follows the successful inaugural Turn Up event last October and will provide an opportunity to turn up, connect, network, listen and learn from respected music industry identities.

This event will focus on playing live music. Gigs, festivals, touring and media are key topics for an industry panel discussion, facilitated by Ant McKenna (Sunshine Coast Council) and featuring Bill Hauritz (Woodford Folk Festival), Jeff Chandler (Gympie Music Muster), Mark Pico (The Big Pineapple Music Festival), Kevin Borich (Artist), Brian Goodworth (The Solbar), Anthony Lustri (Alt Journal).

Breaks in the program will be provided to enable attendees to interact, network and share whilst being entertained by some of the Sunshine Coast’s world-class artists: Karen Law Duo and Dear Willow.

Registrations for the free music industry event are filling quickly, with local musicians, agents, songwriters, managers, creative entrepreneurs, producers and music students among those already registered to attend. 

Thursday the 25 June, 2015, at the Nambour Civic Centre from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm.
