Helping Tennessee’s Music Industry Thrive – The Tennessee Entertainment Commission – 10/18/23
On October 18, 2023, members and guests of the Copyright Society of the South enjoyed lunch and a presentation by Bob Raines (Executive Director) and Jimmy Wheeler (Director of Business Development, Music Office) from the Tennessee Entertainment Commission. The event was held at the headquarters of the Country Music Association (CMA) in Nashville, Tennessee.
The TEC’s new Music Office was recently formed to promote the state of Tennessee as a valued and thriving infrastructure to support the growing talent pool of singers, songwriters, musicians, composers, engineers, and producers in the region. Raines and Wheeler presented information on incentives such as TEC’s music scoring grants, business expansion resources, and the Tennessee Music Directory, a live database designed to market the creative music industries across the state. Tennessee-based music industry personnel and businesses are encouraged to register and establish their profile in the directory at TEC’s website here: https://www.tnentertainment.com/music/real-music/.
Music businesses who are not based in Tennessee but are ready to bring projects to the state or are considering a company relocation to Tennessee can contact the TEC for information and resources at https://www.tnentertainment.com/about/contact/ or by phone at (877) 818-3456.
