This is a planning site for the annual festival of the LDSmusicians Yahoo! group. Taken from the official group home at Yahoo! groups:

 "LDSMusicians.com is a diverse group of musicians who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Activities of the group include an annual music festival Utah, and a [sometimes] yearly sampler CD series, "LDStyles", which features many artists from the list. LDSMusicians.com has given a voice and a family to many hopeful musicians across the world, and it's just getting started! This is a place to share opinions and resources on making music in an LDS context, and to share our music. We have established an environment of mutual respect and support, something we feel is critical to helping developing musicians flourish."
