The last day of the Independent Music Market in St. Louis began with a breakfast buffet on the hotel patio. Unfortunately, facing a four to five hour drive back to Memphis, I had to leave before the end of the day’s events.
Independent Music Market
The Independent Music Market showcase took place Saturday afternoon September 10, with a number of hip-hop artists performing, many of them from Omaha, Iowa and Kansas City as well as St. Louis.
The Independent Music Market continued on Saturday afternoon September 10 at the Sheraton Westport Chalet hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. There was an exhibit hall, there were several panel discussions and a showcase.
After an early morning walk around the hotel grounds, I headed to Clayton to a restaurant called Half and Half that had gotten good breakfast reviews on an iPhone restaurant app. It was indeed a good place for breakfast, featuring a fine array of African coffees and standard breakfast fare, and it was doing quite a business, as the St. Louis Art Fair was getting underway across the street on Brentwood Boulevard.
The Independent Music Market conference was held at the Sheraton Westport Chalet hotel in the Westport area of West St. Louis County. It got underway Friday September 9, 2011 with a meet-and-greet reception, and then I walked to the next-door restaurant named for Albert Pujols for a late dinner.
