Friday, April 5, marks the early registration deadline for CMS @ The Chapel, coming up May 3 and 4 at The Chapel at Crosspoint in Buffalo, N.Y.

CMS @ The Chapel, part of the Christian Musician Summit series, is a popular event of workshops and performances featuring some of the best musicians in the CCM and Country music industries. Reduced registration fees are available until the April 5 deadline and may be purchased online.

"It is amazing that we are already just one month out from the CMS Buffalo conference," says Bruce Adolph, co-founder of Christian Musician Summit, Inc. "Each year there has been a special time; it never fails. The Lord gives the training times, the live concerts and the worship such a good vibe there. Let your teams know about it and take advantage of the Early Bird pricing!"

In addition to the events scheduled for May 3 and 4, a set of one-day bootcamps for songwriters, guitarists, vocalists and indie artists also is scheduled for May 2. CMS @ The Chapel is presented in partnership with Kingdom Bound Ministries.

Scores of world-class musicians will be presenting and performing at CMS @ The Chapel, including Mandisa, Paul Baloche, Ashley Cleveland, Blues Counsel, Newworldson, One Sonic Society, All Sons and Daughters, Meredith Andrews, Al Perkins, Ian Eskelin, Don Poythress, Amanda Noelle, and many others. 

Participants will have the opportunity to attend all four general sessions, both evening concerts and the Late Night Groove Lounge. They will also have access to all exhibitors and eight breakout sessions, choosing from more than 90 options in the categories of guitar, bass, drums/percussion, keys, vocals, songwriting, indie artist, audio, video, lighting, technology, worship leadership, and worship bands/teams.

Early registration fees are $149 per person or $129 per person as part of a group rate of five or more. Regular fees are $169 per person or $149 per person for a group rate with five or more. The one-day intensive bootcamps on May 2 require a separate registration.
