Having missed the last two, looking at last year’s pictures made me really sad to have missed it. There were many incredible musicians, most of whom I have had the pleasure of working with, at some level, over the years. I would love to see them all back, this next year.
However, looking at the pictures, it appears as if many of the younger artists were absent. How can we get them to the next one?
Good question Michael. I have copied your comment over on the BLOG site. Perhaps some of our participants can offer some good suggestions.
I am looking forward to attending the Weekend again this year, although I still cannot sing or play any instrument
To make up for such blatant lack of talent, I’ll do my utmost to bring my son along as well who can. However, if you want to add a link to my music (i.e. mostly my lyrics), you can give me the titles of promoter, producer and lyrics writer.
With reference to Michael’s comment on the lack of the younger generation of Baha’i musicians, I tried to advertise the Weekend to Eric Picotte-Harper, Andy Grammer and Devon Gundry when I visited them last fall. From my point of view, it would be a great enhancement if we could enjoy performances by the Dawnbreaker Collective (feat. Andy and Devon as well as Tara Ellis, Benny Cassette &al.). I saw them perform at the Baha’i Arts Festival in England last January, and I was thrilled (felt about 30 years younger). Another great act is Bella Canto (feat. Eric). I am hoping to see this one perform at the TwoFest events that Todd Khozein is organizing in Vancouver this month (June). I would love to have both of these bands for a tour of Northern Europe some day.
Dear Darrell,
Allah-u-abha! This site looks great and I’d like to offer my humble congratulations on the job you’re doing to attract musicians to this event. If you would be willing to add my web site, its address is given above. Please list me as a Composer, Producer, and Writer.
All the best,
Ludwig
Songwriter/Composer/Writer
Since so few folks have used the “Blog” site, I’ve just opened up this page for blogging comments. I hope to see you this fall! ///Darrell
OK – like I promised last year that I would do my best to bring my son to the next one – I have already booked and paid his for the weekend as well as registered both of us at Bosch. My own flight schedule remains open, but I’ll get there – u can bet on it
It will be great to meet another of the Peltola family and to see you again Harri!

It was great to see som many of my Music Industry Friends in LA at the Regional Baha’i Conference. I was happy to see: Jamie Finley, Kyra Platte, Dale Ramsdell, Jordan Rager, Kevin Ackermann, Carmel Rohani, Travis Williams, Don Reed, JB Eckl (didn’t he and KC Porter do a fantastic job!), Jean Quinn, Jupiter Lovejoy, Colleen Lovejoy, Jon Rezin and bride Auntieclaire, and also Sarah Taraz and Michael Parker of Tucson who sang with the Jeffery Barnes Gospel Choir. I’m sure there were others but with a crowd of 5600, it’s hard to see everyone you remember, or remember everyone you see.
Nabil Capillaire, composer, producer, sound-tech.. Lots of activities going in the US. I’ve never attended music production workshops in my life, never went to a music school or the like… but people here says that my music sounds cool and i’ve been involved in 15 commercial records since 2005, doing complete musical arrangements, programming, recordings and mixing.. right now musicians around the island are gathering to work on an album of Baha’i songs to be released on Naw Ruz this year…
Welcome Nabil. I see from your web page that you live on Mauritius. That sure seems inviting this time of year. We’re looking forward to hearing your work in the spring. Be sure to send a copy (or files) to Michael Eissinger at radioNUR. ///Darrell
Hello friends,
I am a visual artist and educator living in Wisconsin. I write music for Baha’i Holy Writings and have a few songs up on myspace. I am looking for a producer and for musicians who want to use this music as well. Check it out at

Brian,
Welcome! Sorry it took me a while to get you added, but I was away on Pilgrimage. You’re on our list now. Perhaps we will meet at Bosch in October. ///D
Thank you for considering adding my site as a link. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for all of your hard work, I am hoping I can attend the next Music Industry Weekend.
Site info: The Bahá’í Music Project was designed to help people come together from all over the world to share ideas and create Bahá’í related music.
Thank you,
Michael
Welcome Michael. You’ll find our Annual Music Industry Weekend shares the same goals as your site. Hope to see you there. ///D
