Turns out this process is not as clear cut as you may have imagined\, and you might be feeling a bit lost after hearing that you need to sign up with a digital music distributor to get your tunes onto streaming services.\nChris Close is a local musician and the person behind Ōtautahi-based music distro service\, Bread and Butter.

Bring your ideas and questions whether you want to pitch to editorial playlists\, or get your tunes playlisted on the local SRN radio station\, make some DIY cassette tapes\, or sell tracks through Bandcamp\, we want to give you the info you need to make it happen!\nJoin us on Wednesday March 18th from 7pm. There will be free snacks! Plus the bar will be open if you want to buy a drink.\nThese sessions are super informal and a great opportunity to meet other folks in the creative arts community.
