IEBA Announces Boyz II Men and Bob Lefsetz at Conference

R&B Superstars Boyz II Men and music industry insider Bob Lefsetz have just been added as special guests for the annual conference of the International Entertainment Buyers Association in Nashville, Tenn.

 
ICM client Boyz II Men will perform on October 12 celebrating the 50th anniversary of Motown Records and Bob Lefsetz will speak at the conference on October 13.
 
R&B Superstars Boyz II Men are hailed by the RIAA as the most commercially successful R&B group of all time. The group recently enjoyed great critical acclaim including two 2009 Grammy nominations for their album, Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA.
 
Boyz II Men will perform a live medley of songs from the album which was produced by Randy Jackson, Shawn Stockman, Wanya Morris, and Nathan Morris who brought their special brand of musical magic to twelve all-time Motown hits including Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology),” Smokey Robinson & the Miracles’ “The Tracks of My Tears,” theTemptations’ “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me),” Edwin Starr’s “War,” and the Stevie Wonder favorites “I Was Made to Love Her” and “Ribbon In the Sky.” IEBA attendees are in for an amazing performance from a group that has sold 60 million recordings over a spectacular eighteen-year career. 
 
 
 
IEBA is also excited to welcome popular industry blogger and author of The Lefsetz Letter, Bob Lefsetz. Bob will speak candidly about the state of the music industry with IEBA attendees on October 13. Bob’s insights are read daily and discussed by the most influential leaders in the industry. This is a rare opportunity for anyone in the business to get up close and personal with perhaps the most connected man in the business.
 
Fiercely independent and outspoken, Lefsetz tackles a variety of core issues from downloading and ticketing to the music itself. His intensity and brilliant commentary captivate readers including Steven Tyler, Trent Reznor, Bryan Adams and Quincy Jones, along with honchos Michael Rapino, Randy Phillips and Irving Azoff. For these industry leaders and countless others, The Lefsetz Letter is a must-read. At once entertaining and informative, Lefsetz’ insights are fueled by stints as an entertainment business attorney, majordomo of Sanctuary Music's American division and as a sought-after consultant to major labels.
