The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.” In our inaugural publishing of the Music Industry Report, we hold to this sentiment. Exploration has teamed up with the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and several leading trade associations and educational institutions to study the state of the Music Industry, its individual sectors, and its functioning as a collective body. In our research we’ve analyzed how folks worked in the past and how their efforts have been affected by COVID-19. Chip and Dan Heath in their bestselling book, Switch, inform us: “data are just summaries of thousands of stories—tell a few of those stories to help make the data meaningful.” That is just what the research team has done in the compelling narrative within this study. The Music Industry Report 2020 was conducted in three main parts: 1) in depth interviews with individuals to learn how their businesses and organizations have been personally affected 2) detailed surveys of large groups of members of our community to garner a broader perspective 3) economic impact data, demographic statistics and cluster analysis of the Nashville, Tenn. region with other music- centric areas. This method gave us a comprehensive understanding of some of the opportunities and challenges the music industry faces. So as you read, we ask you to witness the dynamic and innovative nature of the music industry and the opportunities it presents to both creatives and entrepreneurs in addition to the economic power of the music industry here in the Nashville Region (in terms of jobs, monetary impacts and what it means to the regional and national landscape). We believe this report will demystify how the music industry works and offer insights on how recession and pandemics can be navigated by those most critical to the industry yet most vulnerable. Thank you to the contributors and project leads who helped produce this study and all of the folks who made it possible. To properly analyze such a large and complex industry was no easy task; the results stand as a testament to the merit, grit, and perseverance of everyone in this industry. 5 In addition to anticipated findings from this report, we took into consideration a few overarching principles. It has been important for us to embody them in order to put our best foot forward and in order for our work to stand in full integrity. We are committed to truthful reporting on the findings of this research. Transparency of data means making all findings available in addition to a complete methodology. We are also committed to a spirit of collaboration and mutual benefit. This project would not be possible without the collective effort of the countless individuals and organizations who comprise this industry. The high-level findings of the study illuminate that Nashville is not only where the world comes to record and listen to music, but where music comes to do business. Data suggests that our resolve must be strengthened to address the sustainable viability of independent venues in addition to issues of compensation and inequity that were further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic—deficits in social programs available for musicians and staff, in gender and racial bias and in a balanced revenue share for creators. We also learned there is much work to do in educating all participants in the music supply chain regarding the value and importance of metadata. Finally, we all agree (whether its among those in the music industry or the wider public) that music is worth fighting for, that it enriches our daily lives and keeps our souls intact. Now, more than ever, we can meet the challenges and opportunities uncovered by this research in Nashville and around the world. We are optimists. We believe the best is yet to come. We view the great challenges of our times as opportunities to work together, utilizing our collective intellect in order to derive creative and adaptive solutions to more effectively reach our common goals. We are grateful and have high regard for the many individuals who share this belief and have contributed so much in helping us produce the Music Industry Report 2020. We’ll see you down the road. This is how the music business works. Aaron Davis Rupa R DeLoach Co-Founder and CEO Vice President of Research Exploration Group Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Industry follows art. Creation is the nucleus of human experience and music is the communication of human experience over sound waves from one mind to another. It is the lullabies you sang from birth, the way you learned the alphabet, the mosh pit you joined when you were thirteen, the first CD you ever bought, the guitarist who shook your hand, the long rides home listening to your favorite radio station, the symphony orchestra, the gospel choir, the bass drop at Coachella. A music industry is what happens when “the roadies take the stage, pack it up and tear it down,” to quote Jackson Browne. It is the money changing hands before the crowd rolls in. It is the royalties and commissions and licensing fees and salaries of over 1.9 million people who exist to facilitate an ex-

    A Conversation with Brandi Carlile by Frank Goodman (7/2007. Puremusic.com) Raw talent vs. expensive packaging is always a pleasant surprise in the entertainment business. Brandi Carlile is the very rare exception to the rule; she and her band made their own EP, piece by piece with their own money, and Columbia ended up buying it and putting it out. Rolling Stone chose her as one of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2005. The subsequent Columbia full length debut CD contained new versions of a number of the songs from the EP. Relentless gigging leading up to the EP and through the debut had already moved her through various styles with her running twin partners, the Hanseroth Brothers. Tim and Phil had had a hard rock band called The Fighting Machinists, and they bring that honed edge to the BC sound. She is not only a vocalist that can literally do it all, the band itself moves fluidly and convincingly from flat out country right through edgy pop radio rock. She's the only artist you can see on CMT whose main cited influences are Elton John, k.d. lang, Jeff Buckley, and Radiohead. One hears all the time now about how acts getting tunes on Grey's Anatomy can practically launch their career, but in BC's case, there was a Grey's episode that actually debuted a version of the video for Brandi's big song "The Story." Overall, no less than four of her songs have been used in the show. She's hot, super talented, and a driven workaholic.

Bill Lee held a news conference and issued a stern response. It wasn’t a mandate to wear masks in public or clamp down on businesses or social gatherings. Instead, it was a plea for residents to do the right thing. “When we have people dying in this state as a result of this virus, we should be taking personal re- sponsibility for this,” the Republi- can governor said. It was the same message Lee issued in late March as the COVID-19 disease was beginning to spread. He has vowed to stick to the personal responsibility mantra, with no plans to reinstate stay-at-home restrictions or im- pose statewide mandates — even as photos of unmasked people crowding bars and outdoor con- certs across Tennessee spread across social media.

  • The Case of Rihanna: Erotic Violence and Black Female Desire
    Fleetwood_Fleetwood 8/15/2013 10:52 PM Page 419 Nicole R. Fleetwood The Case of Rihanna: Erotic Violence and Black Female Desire Note: This article was drafted prior to Rihanna and Chris Brown’s public reconciliation, though their rekindled romance supports many of the arguments outlined herein. Fig. 1: Cover of Esquire, November 2011 issue, U. S. Edition. Photograph by Russell James. he November 2011 issue of Esquire magazine declares Rihanna “the sexiest Twoman alive.” On the cover, Rihanna poses nude with one leg propped, blocking view of her breast and crotch. The entertainer stares out provocatively, with mouth slightly ajar. Seaweed clings to her glistening body. A small gun tattooed under her right arm directs attention to her partially revealed breast. Rihanna’s hands brace her body, and her nails dig into her skin. The feature article and accompanying photographs detail the hyperbolic hotness of the celebrity; Ross McCammon, the article’s author, acknowledges that the pop star’s presence renders him speechless and unable to keep his composure. Interwoven into anecdotes and narrative scenes explicating Rihanna’s desirability as a sexual subject are her statements of her sexual appetite and the pleasure that she finds in particular forms of sexual play that rehearse gendered power inequity and the titillation of pain. That Rihanna’s right arm is carefully positioned both to show the tattoo of the gun aimed at her breast, and that her fingers claw into her flesh, commingle sexual pleasure and pain, erotic desire and violence. Here and elsewhere, Rihanna employs her body as a stage for the exploration of modes of violence structured into hetero- sexual desire and practices.
