Cuto head Andres Mendoza spent a couple days in the 'Peg last week courtesy of the great people at Manitoba Music. Andres led an intensive Music Marketing workshop with a solid crew of managers and artists on the first day and then particpated in a panel on Networking and Music Conference strategies on the second day. Cheers to Scott, Sean, Sara, Bobby, Judy and all the participants from the thriving indie music community there. Also, it was so warm (-4 Celsius) that I managed to gofor a walk around the fascinating Exchange district with its incredible array of turn-of-the-century, Chicago-of-the-north architecture. Check out Manitoba artists like the Lytics, Boats, Sheena Grobb, Old Folks Home, Ndu, Ben Wytinck, James Struthers and the Wailin' Jennys.
