And now for something completely fucking different…
We are beyond delighted to welcome Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley to Webstock. Both will be speaking at the main conference, providing an opportunity to gain insight into how successful musicians and performance artists are utilising the power of the web for recording, publicity and promotion, and to hear their thoughts on issues such as copyright.
Amanda and Jason will be performing exclusively for the Webstock crowd at Friday night’s closing party. This will be a truly special occasion in an intimate setting, available only for those who are attending Webstock ’11. We can neither confirm nor deny rumours that Evelyn Evelyn will be making an appearance!
Amanda Palmer, also known as Amanda Fucking Palmer is an American performer who first rose to prominence as the lead singer, pianist, and lyricist/composer of the duo The Dresden Dolls. She has since started a successful solo career, is also one half of the Evelyn Evelyn duo and is currently and collaborating with her partner Neil Gaiman on the Who Killed Amanda Palmer book project.
Jason Webley is an American musician who began as a busker, playing accordion in the streets of Seattle, Washington. A true one-man-show, Webley does all of his own booking, runs his own small record label (Eleven Records) and personally manages and designs his own website and struggles to maintain profiles on a plethora of social networking sites.
In addition to his solo work, Webley organizes and headlines the
annual Monsters of Accordion tour, runs a camp for adults and children
called Camp Tomato, and performs as the other half of Evelyn Evelyn.
