Entertainment Attorney to Speak at Indie Music Week

Nashville, Tennessee - Indie Music Week has announced that Charles J. ("Jeff") Biederman, entertainment and intellectual property attorney, will be participating as an Indie Music Week panelist. IMW, taking place in Nashville March 11-12, will feature three industry panels of Major and Independent A&R, promoters, label executives, producers, journalists, and entertainment attorneys, and will wrap up with a Music Industry Summit.

Jeff Biederman is a member of the Entertainment and Intellectual Property Group law at Bass, Berry & Sims PLC. He represents recording artists, managers, producers, songwriters, music publishers, authors, record companies, television and film producers, and other executives in the entertainment industries. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt Law School and also serves as an adjunct professor in the Mike Curb School of Music Business at Belmont University ("Curb School"). He is on the Advisory Board of the Curb School and is a consultant on legal issues pertaining to copyrights for the Tennessee Arts Commission. Recently, he joined as a co-author of the casebook/treatise "Law and Business of the Entertainment Industries," in use at law schools across the country.

"Intellectual properties and entertainment laws are something very few people have an understanding about. With new technologies such as satellite radio and digital music services, knowing the legal implications of controlling your music becomes more important than ever. We're so glad Mr. Biederman will be on hand for our attendees' questions," says Indie Music Week President Jonell Polansky.

Other confirmed panelists include Nashville Star and Sony Music’s Tracy Gershon, Danny Kee from Warner Bros. Records, Performing Songwriter magazine’s Abby White, Amy Stevens of Vivaton Records, Lyric Street Records’ Kirk Boyer, Larry Shell of Broken Bow Records, Bradley Collins of BMI, EQ Magazine’s Mitch Gallagher, and the Nashville Association of Professional Recording Services (NAPRS). In addition to the industry panels, Indie Music Week will also feature two Artist Showcases to be held at Nashville’s famous Douglas Corner Café.
