This free afternoon workshop is open to all to attend.
MOONBEAN (Valentina Morelli + Colin Harrington) have been an active electronic live set duo based in Toronto, Canada since 2021. Over the past 5 years, they have toured extensively both nationally and internationally, all self-booked, organized and managed, and have accumulated a wealth of experience and tips on how best to run a tour for independent artist projects.

They will share their tools used in booking and running a tour, breakdown the gear they tour with, how to you on a budget and their philosophy around live performance, travel and music creation.
