Also in its 60th year, the conference is the music industry’s premier event, giving the commerce and content sectors a place to meet with trading partners, network with new companies, and learn about new trends and products impacting the music business, as well as music creatives a place to discuss their craft and learn more about the legal, metadata, financial, and other matters that impact their royalties. The well-rounded program, which will feature more than 300 speakers, provides a unique opportunity for the full breadth of the industry — from major and independent labels to artists, songwriters, managers, publishers, digital music services, record stores, entrepreneurs, startups, students, and educators — to gather in one place, discuss and plot solutions to major business problems, and connect today’s top executives with those who will carry the industry forward. “Our 2017 conference in Nashville was our biggest in over 15 years with more than 2,000 attendees; we’re excited to carry that momentum into our 60th anniversary event,” said James Donio, President of Music Biz. “Music Biz 2018 will honor our past with our first-ever Music Business Hall of Fame induction as well as returning sessions that address the issues of today — including Music’s Leading Ladies Speak Out and our GLAAD partnership ‘Trendspotting: The Power of Queer Storytelling in Song.’ We’ll also pave the way forward to another 60 years of music with our debut ‘#NEXTGEN_NOW’ panel, Financial Literacy Summit, and Sync It! program, along with a variety of student programming and our annual Career Opportunities for Students event.” The program will be headlined by Featured Presentations keynoted by Pandora’s Roger Lynch, who will be joined by Sony Music Nashville’s Randy Goodman and interviewed by Pandora’s Beville Dunkerley; Harry Chapin Memorial Humanitarian Award recipient Scooter Braun, who will be interviewed by noted Washington, DC, Strategist and women’s rights advocate Hilary Rosen; and Republic Records’ Wendy Goldstein, who will be joined by Beka Tischker, manager of Music Biz 2018 Breakthrough Artist Julia Michaels. The Association will also carry forward its tradition of honoring the past year’s most exceptional artists and executives at its Awards Luncheon (sponsored by BuzzAngle Music and TiVo) on May 17, with presentations recognizing Ed Sheeran (Artist of the Year), Nile Rodgers (Chairman’s Award for Sustained Creative Achievement), Julia Michaels (Breakthrough Artist), hit song “Despacito” (Outstanding Achievement Award), and Scooter Braun (Harry Chapin Memorial Humanitarian Award), with acclaimed actor and director Colin Hanks then inducting late Tower Records founder Russ Solomon into the Music Business Hall of Fame. The business-focused Awards Breakfast & Presentations (sponsored by CMA) will be held May 16, with presentations honoring the RIAA’s Cary Sherman (Presidential Award for Outstanding Executive Achievement) and Dimple Records’ Radakovitz Family (Independent Spirit Award), followed by a live performance from Country star Kelsea Ballerini. Music Biz 2018 will begin on Monday, May 14, with the latest Entertainment & Technology Law Conference. Sponsored by Dickinson Wright and Leavens, Strand & Glover, the event will feature an in- depth discussion of modern artist development, the recently introduced Music Modernization Act, collective management of rights, and trademark protection for bands. Running concurrently will be this year’s Career Development Workshops, which will provide music business students and young professionals with valuable guidance on breaking into the industry. It will be headlined by a keynote from Seth England of Big Loud, which has signed major artists Florida Georgia Line and Chris Lane, and end with a live broadcast of William Paterson University’s Music Biz 101 & More podcast. Students can also apply to attend Music Biz’s annual Career Opportunities for Students event on May 16-17, where they will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from 15 top companies for potential internships and jobs, including BMI, Borman Entertainment, CAA, Country Music Association (CMA), Concord Music Group, Girlilla Marketing, ole, Pandora, Red Light Management, Songtrust, Sony Music Entertainment, Spotify, The Orchard, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. Also on May 14, Music Biz will bring together Amazon Music, Apple Music, Pandora, SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube for a second round of Digital Service Workshops. These closed sessions will teach attendees how to leverage the tools and products that these companies offer to maximize value for artists, labels, managers, creators, and the industry at large. Advance sign-up is required for the Apple Music, SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube workshops; seating will be limited. In the afternoon, Lyric Financial will power the first-ever Financial Literacy Summit, which will feature an informative discussion on how those in the music business can achieve financial success, the legal and financial issues that artist-owned companies must consider to make sure they maximize and keep the profits from their hard work, and how to forecast potential ROI before investing in launching a new artist or project. Topics will include artists as business owners, new business models, a team approach to the new music economy, making money as a musician, and banking in Nashville. Concurrently with the Financial Literacy Summit will be the “Podcasting: Licensing and Monetizing This New Success“ program, which will be headlined by a keynote from Tom Webster of Edison Research. Panels will feature successful podcasters sharing their stories — including Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett of the Walking the Floor podcast alongside Sheena Barnet and Savannah Faircloth of Elvis Presley Enterprises — and cover music licensing for podcasts and how to bring in revenue with a podcast. Tuesday, May 15, will kick off with the brand new “#NEXTGEN_NOW: Young Voices Rewriting the Rules“ panel. The event will shine a light on the stories of a group of music executives — all under 30 years old — who are making waves in the industry and have come to represent the next generation’s already growing influence. They include moderator Cherie Hu, Contributing Writer/Editor at Billboard/Forbes, and panelists Jackie Augustus, Head of Digital Marketing at Scooter Braun’s SB Projects; Devin Dawson, a Country singer/songwriter signed to Warner Music Nashville/Atlantic Records; Amber Grimes, Manager of Artist and Label Marketing at Spotify; Phil Quist, an Agent at the Creative Artists Agency (CAA); and Anna Weisband, Vice President at THiS Music/Warner Chappell. Tuesday morning will also be home to the sixth annual Metadata Summit. Sponsored by OpenPlay along with supporting sponsors DataArt, primephonic, SOCAN, SoundExchange, and VEVA Sound, this year’s Summit will kick off with a presentation from Edward Ginis of OpenPlay, who will explain why metadata must evolve beyond artist, genre, and title to enable the music technology of tomorrow. In addition, global metadata issues will take center stage in a series of presentations. Songtrust will then power this year’s Indie Artist & Songwriter Forum, which will address artist and streaming income, the artist-label relationship in the digital era, and how independent labels or artists can successfully manage releases. Molly Neuman and Jason Cerf of Songtrust will also provide a two- part crash course in how to use the service. The day will end with this year’s Music’s Leading Ladies Speak Out program, powered by Nielsen Music. It will be headlined by a keynote interview with Republic Records’ Wendy Goldstein and Beka Tischker, manager of Music Biz 2018 Breakthrough Artist Julia Michaels, that will be conducted by Billboard’s Melinda Newman. Nielsen Music’s Erin Crawford will kick off the event by sharing exclusive insights and analytics on the growing influence of female fans in today’s music industry.

  • PERFORMANCE at 2018 ILLINOIS STATE FAIR Country Music
    For Immediate Release Contacts: July 21, 2018 Morgan Booth (217) 785-5485 THOMAS RHETT TO DELIVER ‘UNFORGETTABLE’ PERFORMANCE AT 2018 ILLINOIS STATE FAIR Country music superstar completes Grandstand concert series Tickets will go on sale Monday, July 23rd via Ticketmaster, ISF Box Office SPRINGFIELD, IL – Hot off his blockbuster performance with Kenney Chesney at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, the Illinois State Fair is proud to announce two-time Academy of Country Music award winner Thomas Rhett will perform at the 2018 Illinois State Fair on Thursday, August 16th. The long-awaited addition of this Grammy nominated county superstar completes the Illinois State Fair Grandstand concert series for 2018. Life Changes, Thomas Rhett’s latest album, is the first country album of 2017 to climb to the top spot on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, according to Rolling Stone magazine. It’s a stat that Rhett says backs-up his belief that this is an album that appeals to everyone from Millennials to Baby Boomers. Hits such as, “Marry Me,” “Unforgettable,” and the album’s title track, “Life Changes” are sure to appeal to fans of FM radio and Spotify playlists. Since scoring his first hit, “It Goes Like This,” in 2013, Thomas Rhett has continued an upward path to county music stardom. Though he sings country music, his influences range from pop, R&B, soul, and rock. These influences can be heard throughout the album from “Sixteen” to “Craving You” with Maren Morris. Rhett is also an accomplished songwriter. In addition to writing for his own albums, Rhett co-wrote songs with Danielle Bradbery – who will be the opening act for Rhett’s Thursday, August 16th concert in Springfield.

The Tri-State Rodeo committee is working closely with local officials on implementing a comprehensive safety plan for the protection of all the individuals attending the Tri-State Rodeo against the spread of COVID-19. More details will be available soon. Tony Johnson, Chairman of the rodeo, stated “We are intending to conduct all of our planned traditional events beginning Wednesday September 9th starting with the Cinch Chute-Out and allow all of our supporters and fans to participate at the level they feel comfortable.” The Tri-State Rodeo Board of Directors and Operating Committee have faced several challenging decisions over the past several months. To put on the most successful event possible the rodeo board has decided to postpone all pre-rodeo events (scheduled Sept 5-8) until 2021. This includes the Fareway pancake breakfast, Fareway chili supper and The HyVee Pork Dinner. This will also include the special kids rodeo, lil spurs rodeo, lil miss rodeo & all- around cowboy contest and the school’s out roundup. Johnson stated, “The goal by doing this is to not put a strain and burden on the committee members and volunteers during these difficult times. We have decided to put all of our focus on making the rodeo as safe and successful as we can and by postponing the pre-rodeo events until 2021, this allows us to be better prepared to make the 2020 event as safe as possible.
