Industry Ink Thursday (4/28)

April 28, 2011/by Sarah Skates

Nashville executives turned out at The Rutledge last night (4/27) despite the inclement weather to see DJ Miller’s industry showcase. The Evergreen Records artist unveiled a handful of new songs from his upcoming debut album, scheduled for release this summer. Miller performed his 2010 debut single, “A Little Naughty Is Nice,” as well as his current single, “Whatever It Takes,” which is No. 32 and climbing on the MusicRow Country Breakout chart.

Tawn Albright


Rockhouse Partners’ Tawn Albright offers an opinion piece in today’s Tennessean about the new partnership between the Nashville Music Council and Entrepreneur Center. In the article, Albright encourages anyone with a business idea to reach out to the EC at connect@entrepreneurcenter.com, so they can receive feedback, and possibly training, a mentor, or funding.

He says, “Having moved here three years ago from Los Angeles, I have to say how impressed I’ve been with the spirit, camaraderie and talent buzzing around Nashville…However, unlike Silicon Valley, we don’t have overfunded venture capital firms willing to open their wallets to new ideas…Nashville still needs friendly capital to support new music and entertainment ideas. Traveling 2,000 miles away to raise capital needs to be a distant memory.” Read the whole article here.
