[email protected] Introduction As part of an Export Development initiative, culminating in a showcase program at Folk Alliance 2013, Folk Music Canada undertook a project to expand export opportunities for the folk music sector in Canada. Targeted to performers, artist representatives, record labels and other industry members, the program also sought to gather market intelligence, increase business to business contacts and generate deeper interest in Canadian folk music. As part of this project, Folk Music Canada attended ten international industry networking events and festivals, and liaised with hundreds of new contacts. The areas targeted were the United States, the United Kingdom, Western Europe and Australia. Due to the importance of live performance in the current music business model, this project, and the ensuing market intelligence, stems from a premise that an export career is best developed through touring. As such, much of the information gathered in this report will focus on how best to secure live performances in export markets, using publicity, label and other relationships to compliment touring. Thank you to our program partners. 3 Export Ready Set Go! [email protected] Export ready or not? Before undertaking any export activity, artists (and their representatives) should invest significant time in considering the factors that contribute to success in export career development. While exceptions may always be pointed out, in general, an artist should consider the following before investing significantly in an export career, and spend significant time creating a plan to support an export strategy. The vast majority of folk artists who build export careers do so with a well established team, and a thorough plan. While each artists’ needs are unique, here are some of the elements to consider before building an international touring career. 4 Export Ready Set Go! [email protected] Overview of export markets United States The United States is the closest, largest and most obvious market in which Canadian folk performers may develop an export career. While the population density and market particularities vary from region to region, a well-­‐developed plan, focused on a relevant geographic area, can be one of the most effective ways in which to begin building an export career. As well, the US market is the most lucrative market in which to leverage licensing opportunities as part of an export plan, either concurrent with career development, or as a product of extensive touring. Many artists achieve best results by exploring the US region closest to their touring home base (ie British Columbia based artists work the Pacific North West before expanding into new regions) and building from there. While immigration regulations have changed over the past few decades, and proper work permits require careful planning and investment, Canadian artists should not view immigration as a significant barrier to successful career development in this area but should be prepared to integrate immigration into their plan. See below for further information, or consult with the Canadian Federation of Musicians who can assist in preparing immigration applications. While we maintain that exporting artists will find the greatest export success when surrounded by a solid team, artists who are self-­‐represented will find the USA to be the easiest market to develop without the support of a full team.

[email protected] Touring patterns The map below outlines the concentration of major music festivals and draws some common patterns in touring strategies. Regional snapshots Northeast Because of its population density, close association with the folk revival and proliferation of successful music venues/festivals, this is one of the easiest areas of the USA in which to build a touring career. For the emerging artist, there are many options for developing a touring strategy through a combination of house concerts (of which there are many) and small venues/coffee houses. This network can best be accessed through attendance at NERFA. For the established and mid-­‐career artist, there are a significant number of opportunities available through summer music festivals, year-­‐round performance series and performance venues. To access these opportunities, artists can attend various Canadian regional conferences (OCFF, ECMA, BreakOut West) depending on their annual priorities, APAP and Folk Alliance. Networking organizations and contact events for this region: Folk Alliance Region Midwest (FARM), Arts MidWest, Montana Performing Arts Consortium. 6 Export Ready Set Go! [email protected] Mid-­‐West With less population density and greater distances between major urban centres, this area requires calculated planning and careful budgeting of tour costs. However, many key arts centres, festivals and ‘tastemakers’ exist in this region, such as The Old Town School of Folk Music and Prairie Home Companion for example. And this region can provide excellent ‘routing’ opportunities for an artist looking to compliment a cross-­‐
Canada or cross-­‐North America tour. Networking organizations and contact events for this region: Folk Alliance Region Midwest (FARM), Arts MidWest, Montana Performing Arts Consortium. Southeast/mid south Much like the northeast, this region is easier to tour because of population density, however regional musical tastes mean that artists must be sure there is demand for their particular musical style. As with other southern regions, this one offers many festival performance opportunities that compliment the northern festival season, as the climate fosters outdoor festivals within the spring and fall. Fewer festival opportunities will be available through the summer seasons, so this area can compliment a summer festival tour anchored in the north. Networking organizations and contact events for this region: Arts Mid-­‐West, SouthWest Regional Folk Alliance (SWERFA) and SouthEast Regional Folk Alliance (SERFA). Pacific region The northern coastal areas have enough population density and significant festivals/presenters to make touring this area very viable, especially when considered in conjunction with a tour of pacific/western Canada. Tours can also be extended through to California, with significant presenter density in the southern area. In southern areas of this region, many outdoor festivals take place in the spring/fall, helping to compliment the summer festival season in other regions. Networking and contact events for this region: Arts NorthWest, Western Arts Alliance, California Presenters and Folk Alliance Region West Record labels While the support of a label for physical distribution and promotional support help to buttress an export development strategy, it is possible to work in the USA as a means to secure such support. In other words, it may be possible to obtain label support before 7 Export Ready Set Go! [email protected] touring the USA, but often the interest from the label will come once a touring career has been launched. Red House Records, Ramseur Records, Rounder Records, Anti-­‐ Records, Bloodshot Records, Signature Sounds, Lost Highway, Sub Pop and many others. Licensing The vast majority of music supervisors work out of southern California, which can provide cross over opportunities for artists touring this area. Europe This area offers a myriad of touring opportunities, and a diverse array of music markets, all within a very close geographic area that is relatively easy to tour compared to the US and Australia. Immigration is feasible, although the process differs for the UK and continental Europe (see below). Networking and contact events for Europe World of music expo (WOMEX), UK FolkEx, Reeperbahn, Midem, The Great Escape, Celtic Connections, Folk Arts England and many more. A thorough listing can be found here: http://www.cimamusic.ca/Storage/54/4634_EuropeanShowcasingFestivalList.pdf UK For many artists, the UK represents a wealth of performance and album sales opportunities. While the initial investment in travel and immigration arrangements is high, the density of performance venues, clubs and festivals make this a viable and valuable area to develop an export career. There are nearly 300 folk festivals in the UK – not to mention the number of venues and folk clubs. While many of the festivals focus exclusively on local talent, the sheer quantity of festivals is a good indicator of the market demand for folk music. While regional particularities abound, there is a very healthy appetite for singer songwriters, celtic and folk music based in traditional forms – an appetite that is not often found in other markets. Americana and bluegrass musicians will find an audience in major markets, but are generally less popular than other folk sub-­‐genres. While self-­‐represented artists may find it possible explore the USA, the UK is not as accessible to an artist who does not have representation. In general, the best strategy to approach this market would be to find representation through attendance at 8 Export Ready Set Go! [email protected] networking events and/or to work with an artist who already has an established circuit and demand in the UK.

[email protected] Western Europe In general, within Western Europe, the best market opportunities for folk music are concentrated in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. While other countries do have touring circuits, and a significant music industry, the work that Folk Music Canada undertook in this research revealed that these markets are the ones most easily accessed for an export-­‐ready Canadian folk artist. Within these markets, all folk genres are sought after, but Americana, singer-­‐songwriter and indie-­‐folk are the sub-­‐genres that are most easily developed. Much like the UK, the density of population, and geographic proximity of major markets, makes this area very easy to tour. As well, it is challenging to plan an export strategy in this area without the support of a manager and/or agent.

Initial travel costs are the highest of any export market, but with focused planning, an artist can make this market work for them. As well, with a climate and festival season that is opposite to the northern hemisphere (their season runs from October to April), the Australian market can compliment an artists work in the US, Canada and Europe. Australia's touring circuit is focused on the East and West Coast. Touring acts will commonly perform in the major East Coast cities including Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane. Many tours also incorporate Tasmania and Western Australia. Folk acts in Australia often drive between the East Coast cities and play regional shows to fill out the week. There is an established circuit of venues, particularly between Sydney and Brisbane. However, it can be difficult to pick up Mon/Tue/Wed shows in any regional areas nationwide and therefore more bands are choosing to fly between main cities and only play these shows. There are currently a number of initiatives with government funding behind them to develop this regional circuit for both Australian and international artists. 11 Export Ready Set Go! [email protected] Melbourne has 460 music venues according to a 2013 Live Music Census completed by NMIT. This establishes it as one of the live music capitals of the world. Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart, Perth and Canberra also have developed music scenes with specialty 100 -­‐ 10,000 capacity music venues.
