4th Annual Buffalo Grass Fest

Buffalo Grass Fest will focus on radio promotion for pros this year. We will have great speakers who are experts in the radio field. Radio remains a vital way to get music out and the topics this year will include speakers on internet radio, Lubbock radio and Texas radio.

For Youth, we will focus on skills that will help a young musician advance in their field and musical training. Workshops will be “Exploring Careers in the Arts” and “How Do I Pay for College?”

Name badges and check in will be held at LHUCA, beginning at 12:30pm with a brief welcome. Here you will pick up your name badge and gifts for the day.
