Austin Music Mixer provides the opportunity for musicians and industry folks to get to know each other in an informal environment, share experiences, and learn from each other.  It's also a great place for new Austin artists to get plugged into the music community.  So whether you're a longtime Austinite or green on the scene, Austin Music Mixer provides valuable information and contacts for artists at any stage in their careers.  Austin Music Foundation is hosting this forum for artists and industry professionals twice a month.  And hey, gotta love those happy hour prices!   The next Austin Music Mixer will meet Tuesday, October 10th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm upstairs at Opal Divine's on West 6th Street.  Fall meeting dates are October 24, November 7 & 28, and December 12.  Hope to see you there!
