Keynote Speakers and Workshop Presenters
Ashley Capps – Keynote Speaker on Friday - Ashley Capps of Knoxville, TN founded the company AC Entertainment in 1991 and today it is one of the largest entertainment music production companies in the Southeast and known nationally. Capps got his start as a music promoter during the 1970s, when he booked events at the University of Tennessee and at off-campus venues in Knoxville. In 1988 he opened a music club in Knoxville called Ella Guru's, which he closed in 1990 to re-focus his energies on forming AC Entertainment. Ashley Capps is best known for event Production, talent buying, festival and event consulting, and theater management. AC Entertainment is nationally known as the co-producers of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and Vegoose, both with Superfly Productions, as well as serving as exclusive talent buyer for the Orange Peel. In Knoxville, they are best known as the managers of the Tennessee Theatre and Bijou Theatre, producers of "Sundown in the City", a summer concert festival in Market Square, and Talent Buyers for the Valarium. AC Entertainment also maintains the Great Stage Park festival ground, on the same property that annually hosts Bonnaroo. This site is promoted as a for-lease property to serve anyone looking to stage a special event. Additionally, they produce and promote a variety of music and performing arts events across the country with an emphasis on the Southeast and hold artist contracts with many leading up and coming music acts. The company was also involved in starting the alternative weekly Metro Pulse, although the two companies are now independent.
Jen Foster – Keynote Speaker on Saturday – Jen Foster is an award-winning singer/songwriter who runs her independent record label, Fosterchild Records, in Nashville, TN. Influenced heavily by classic artists such as the Rolling Stones, U2, and Bob Dylan, Jen has spent a large part of the last 2 years in a Nashville recording studio working on her recently released third album, "Thirty-Nine." Along with her producer, Greg Droman, Jen put together an all-star group of musicians to perform on the tracks, including Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters, The Wallflowers), Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Vertical Horizon) and Fred Eltringham (The Wallflowers, Dixie Chicks, The Wreckers). The project embodies a blend of sounds which range from soft, lazy-day melodies to more raucous guitar-driven tracks. Some of these new songs have already garnered Jen national attention: the single "Closer to Nowhere" won first place in the International Songwriting Competition (Triple A category) and the accompanying music video for the song hit 1 for several weeks on the LOGO network. In addition, Jen's original song, "Venice Beach", was a finalist in the 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest, as well as in the New York Songwriter's Circle. Previously, Jen has also secured some impressive Film/TV placements with songs placed in the popular television soap opera "All My Children" and an "American Pie" movie sequel. When she's not busy recording or writing and co-writing songs in Nashville, Jen also tours nationally and has shared stages with Melissa Etheridge, John Mayer, Patty Griffin and many others.
Todd Steed - Song Placement Panel - An active fixture on the local Knoxville and regional music scene, Todd got his feet wet with the legendary Smokin’ Dave and the Premo Dopes, touring the country and releasing several nationally acclaimed recordings during the 80’s and 90’s, earning fabulous reviews in national magazines such as CREEM and MUSICIAN. The Dopes played with an amazing range of bands including REM, The Replacements, Husker Du, Camper Van Beethoven, Loudon Wainwright, NRBQ, The Minutemen, and on and on. Upon his return to Knoxville he began working for The University of Tennessee, where he is still employed today at WUOT.

Barbara Cloyd - Song Placement Panel & Presenting Workshop 'Ready For The Row' (An overview of how the Nashville songwriting market works and how to work it) - In 1983 Barbara made the move to Nashville, a town she had never been to before and where she didn't know anyone. Within a few days of arriving she knew she was home. Three years later she was hired to organize and run the Open Mic at the Bluebird Cafe, which was well on it's way to becoming the world-renowned songwriter's venue it is today. Her struggle to perfect her craft as a writer paid off in 1993 when she had the hit single "I Guess You Had to Be There" recorded by Lorrie Morgan. Over years of performing at and hosting writers nights in Nashville, Barbara's energetic personality and genuine love for songwriters has endeared her to the community. She has served as a workshop moderator for the Nashville Songwriters Association and was the creator and host of the long-running Country Song Contest at Gibson Cafe which helped many writers make connections in the music industry. She has hosted popular writers nights at local venues such as Radio Cafe, The French Quarter and The Broken Spoke.

Gilli Moon - The Successful Artist Entrepreneur (The ins and outs of getting out there as an artist in the business of music) - Gilli Moon is the quintessential renaissance woman, with a ceaseless contribution to the creative and artist community at large.

Inspired to make a difference in the music industry for songwriters, Gilli co-founded Songsalive!, back in 1997, which is now, over ten years later, the largest internationally based non-profit songwriters organization.

She has been a District Manager for both Toys R Us and Mikasa (Dinnerware), owned a Restaurant & Catering Business, and returned to school to get a Utility Engineer license and became an owner of an Underground Utilities Company. At the age of 40 she was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After a long fought battle to save her bladder and life, she walked away from corporate America in 2001 and spent 2 years on the coast of North Carolina walking on beaches, writing and surviving. She released her first CD in September 2003 called “Don’t Forget To Breathe”. Not knowing the industry at all she researched and self-booked a tour up and down the east coast in 2004 and sold over 5,000 copies of her CD and won several songwriting competitions including the famous North Carolina “Cape Fear Festival Songwriter Showdown” where she was the only female in the finals with 9 male songwriters from around the United States. This started her cult following in the southeast. She released her second CD “Horizons” in 2005 to even more praise and great reviews.
