Melissa was thrilled to find out that she had been selected by Canadian Musician Magazine and Strut Entertainment to attend the Country Music Association of Ontario’s (CMAO) “Road 2 Independence: Spring Tune Up” Conference this past weekend in Markham, ON!

The CMAO put on an amazing weekend filled with incredible insight and knowledge. The conference’s panelists included some of Canada’s most accomplished Country Artists and Songwriters including Jason Blaine, Aaron Pritchett, Patricia Conroy, Doug Oliver of Cold Creek County, and Donovan Woods! The sessions covered everything from management and social media, to working with SOCAN and tips for songwriting. Melissa met some of Ontario’s finest up and coming Country artists and was blown away by the talent at this year’s showcase including an amazing performance by fellow Windsorites Buck Twenty!

This was Melissa’s second time attending a CMAO Conference and she is truly looking forward to attending their next event. Check out her Facebook page for more details and photos from the weekend!
