MIDEM attracts over 400 journalists and 9000 participants from over 80 countries. The conference carefully selects bands with high export potential. Showcases strongly contribute to artists’ development and allow delegates to discover or promote artists. Rotary Downs will be performing at the MIDEM Talent showcase, MIDEM’s talent-nurturing initiative which features a series of up-and-coming artists in partnership with Sonicbids from January 18 to 21.
We’ve been behind these NOLA boys since day one. We raved about their 2006 landmark album Chained To The Chariot, covered them at Jazz Fest and High Sierra and they were our featured band at the JamBase SXSW 2008 Showcase.
Furthermore, Rotary Downs has been nominated as “Best Louisiana Rock Band” for the 2nd year in row by Offbeat Magazine. Rotary Downs will be playing at the Best of the Beat Awards which will be held Saturday, January 31 at the House of Blues in NOLA.
We’re proud of you Rotary Downs! Show Cannes what you’re made of!
