Published: Tue, 26 Feb 2008, 15:08:51 EDT
LOS ANGELES, Calif. and NEW YORK, N.Y., Feb. 26 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Los Angeles Music Network's "LAMN Jam" heads for the Big Apple, and has added an additional event sponsor in Send2Press(R) Newswire, a unit of Neotrope(R). Launched three years ago in Los Angeles (where performances continue), LAMN Jams go beyond traditional showcases by featuring artists performing original songs, followed by instant professional critiques from a panel of industry experts. This year, independent music artists will perform for $20,000 in prizes.
 With the surprise win in the Best Song category of "Falling Slowly" at this year's Oscars(R), independent musicians and songwriters took a huge stride forward. Taking the gold home this year, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova were stunned to win out against the mighty Disney which had three songs nominated from "Enchanted."
