Weekly Welcome to the Nashville Music Industry Luncheon Welcome To The Nashville Music Industry © 2014 Vinny Ribas for Indie Connect How Nashville Works People in Nashville are extremely friendly, helpful, accommodating, generous and caring. And when it comes to the music business, Nashville is really a small town. By that I mean that everyone knows everyone. Whether you’re looking to get a job as a musician in a top band or get signed to a label, you first have to earn your way into the ‘circle’. If people trust you and believe that you have the talent, they will introduce you to the people you need to know. Most of the time it takes constantly networking, meeting people, making a good impression, following up on conversations, being respectful, being professional and knowing your boundaries in order to find someone who will be your ‘ticket in’. One of the biggest mistakes that many singers, songwriters and musicians make is not being ready when opportunity presents itself. If you’re a songwriter and in a position to have someone listen to a demo of your songs, have one ready with your name and contact information printed on it. Do not use magic marker or stick-on labels. Invest in a CD printer so that you look completely professional. If you meet or someone introduces you to a club owner or entertainment buyer, have a promotional package together to hand him or her or an EPK (electronic press kit) that you can send him or her. Keep in mind that no matter where you go in Nashville, someone in the room ore in close proximity to you is probably either in the music business or knows someone who is. Most importantly, you want to always be perceived as professional. Don’t get lost in getting autographs or gawking at celebrities. You want to be perceived as someone on their level who they would like to get to know and possibly do business with. Networking Since Nashville is based on getting to know people, here are some of the prime ways to network. Websites and Newsletters www.IndieConnect.com – Packed with videos, articles, tools and resources on success in the music industry. It’s member-based, and has a free membership level. Paid members get more advanced content. It also has a social network where you can connect with others in the industry. www.NashvilleMuse.com – Sign up for Doak Turner’s newsletter to find out what’s happening in the songwriting community every week. He lists all of the clubs as well as special events. www.NashvilleMusicPros.com is a social network with almost 4000 members. It’s free but you must qualify to be a member by somehow showing that you are a professional in the music business. www.nashvilleuniverse.com is a social network that also actively tries to connect artists with people from the music industry. They host jam sessions, contests and a lot more! www.Nashville.com has a local musician’s forum. The Facebook group ‘Welcome To Nashville Artists and Singer Songwriters’ has thousands of members https://www.facebook.com/groups/205516429538073. The ‘Nashville Music Industry Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/NashvilleMusicIndustry) is a great way to get connected and to know what’s happening in town. Just Plain Folks is a global songwriter forum that has a lot of local members – www.jpfolks.com. Nashville Pro Musicians and Singers is another valuable social network (http://nashvillemusiciansandsingers.ning.com) Music Starts Here (www.MusicStartsHere.com) is a website geared towards people who are new in Nashville and interested in the music industry. It has tips, articles videos and more. Young Music Professionals (YEP) holds a variety of networking events. Join their Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/yepnashville) and check out their website at www.yepnashville.com. The ‘Nashville Music Industry’ group on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com) has over 3200 members. It’s a great place to make connections as well as get your questions answered. www.MusicNewsNashville.com is a great website for learning about what’s happening in Nashville. Subscribe to their daily email blast. Nashville Gig Finder Facebook page – finf gigs and/or band members (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Nashvillegigfinder) Music City Arts Update – Popular newsletter that lists events in all of the arts. Published by music publicist, Chuck Whiting. www.musiccityartsupdate.com Cold calling As mentioned earlier, Nashville is a relationship town. Many doors are opened only by introduction. However, if you are professional in your demeanor, you can often get permission to present your songs to some publishers, song pluggers etc. The key is to let them know the reason you want to meet and how much of their time it will take (the shorter the better). If you get the appointment (it just takes persistence), dress casually but neatly (tie, dress etc. not required). Get right to the point. After the meeting, send a follow-up thank you. If you present yourself well, they will be more inclined to talk longer, invite you back or even introduce you to someone else who might be able to help you more than they can. In Public You will see celebrities and meet high-level industry people everywhere you go in Nashville. They visit the clubs. They eat at the restaurants. They shop in the stores. When they are having private time, like eating with friends at a restaurant, it is best not to stare at them or interrupt them. Don’t pitch your songs or give them your CD. This is called ‘gherming’. Please respect their privacy. You’ll have a chance to meet them again in a more appropriate setting. Industry Events There are always different industry events going on around town. The PROs (performing rights organizations) host events. The many nonprofits have fundraising events that are great to plug into. Subscribe to as many trade newsletters as possible to get the complete listing.

    A Year in the Life of Bottle the Curmudgeon What you are about to read is the book of the blog of the Facebook project I started when my dad died in 2019. It also happens to be many more things: a diary, a commentary on contemporaneous events, a series of stories, lectures, and diatribes on politics, religion, art, business, philosophy, and pop culture, all in the mostly daily publishing of 365 essays, ostensibly about an album, but really just what spewed from my brain while listening to an album. I finished the last essay on June 19, 2020 and began putting it into book from. The hyperlinked but typo rich version of these essays is available at: https://albumsforeternity.blogspot.com/ Thank you for reading, I hope you find it enjoyable, possibly even entertaining. bottleofbeef.com exists, why not give it a visit? Have an album you want me to review? Want to give feedback or converse about something? Send your own wordy words to [email protected] , and I will most likely reply. Unless you’re being a jerk. © Bottle of Beef 2020, all rights reserved. Welcome to my record collection. This is a book about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal Facebook page. Over the ensuing months it became quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what I think is a real art form, the album. It exists in three forms: nightly posts on Facebook, a chronologically maintained blog that is still ongoing (though less frequent), and now this book.
