Highlights: NACA Northeast Conference

This weekend (Nov. 6-9) definitely turned out to be a great one at the NACA Northeast Conference. Although it was cold and rainy outside, it sure was warm and welcoming inside the CAMP Marketplace! Our booth was bustling with curious college students; walking away with Todd Alsup gift bags and a one-of-a-kind song by Alec in the making.
A few booths down from us were these crazy guys with all sorts of exotic animals! Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Well, not really, but he had an alligator, a South American raccoon, a fox, a couple snakes (Todd's favorite), a bobcat, and a chinchilla! I was happy to have pet both the fox and the chinchilla (cutest animals ever!)
Todd was given the chance to shine by performing at the 11:00 showcase on Saturday morning. As usual, he gave the performance of a lifetime, engaging the crowd with his energetic personality and voice. He did awesome singing in front of a crowd of more than 1,000+ people! Alec Gross had a great following as well and was in the running to perform a few songs for the on-sight selected showcase.
After Todd's showcase, we all relaxed outside. Slowly, the students emerged from the room and came over to congratulate Todd on such a wonderful performance! Later, at the 4pm CAMP Marketplace, our booth was flooded with students who wanted to meet Todd. Many of them told him how amazing he was, while others mentioned how much they connected with his music. Todd was a celebrity for an hour, and we must have given away almost 80 bags! It was CRAZY! Alec did well for himself too! Alec wrote 50 personalized songs for enthusiastic students. Every student that heard their song reacted with overwhelming joy and laughter!
Overall, it was a successful weekend for everyone. We met some great people, made some awesome friends and hope to visit them at their campus in the near future!

Todd Alsup in Billboard!

(Click to read the full text of the article)

Here's a great article written by Katie Hasty in her Billboard Underground column about Todd Alsup.

Here are some highlights:
...Alsup's buoyant attitude and bright, high-energy music could hit a home run with new, young fans...

...With a style on par with Gavin DeGraw or OneRepublic, Alsup's music could find a place on the radio with any number or pop-oriented stations. "Pop and soul and R&B don't have to be mutually exclusive he says...

Thanks Katie!

NACA - Great Success!

Carla Bissi, Todd Alsup Jeremy Sklarsky, James Walsh, and Alec Gross at the MajorWho Booth at NACA MidAtlantic 2008

MajorWho is back home after a great weekend in Lancaster, PA at the NACA Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference. MWM was there with artists Todd Alsup and Alec Gross. They made a lot of great contacts with student leaders and activities planners from colleges across the region.

NACA is really an incredible thing. Students want entertainment on their campuses, but don't have the means on their own to seek out artists, especially independent ones. This gives artists like Todd, Alec, and the others we work with at MajorWho the chance to directly reach the bookers on these campuses.

We're really looking forward to another conference next week in Hartford, CT, where Todd will be showcasing - which we noticed really does make a huge difference. We had a great time there to be sure - but we can't wait to reach the people the best way we know how: Todd singing at the piano for 700 college students.
