'MusicRow' Reveals 2015 'Next Big Thing' Stars

December 10, 2014/by Jessica Nicholson

NBT_Reveal11MusicRow is proud to announce today the inaugural 2015 Next Big Thing artists. The big reveal will happen from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on MusicRow’s Facebook (@MusicRowMag) and Twitter (@MusicRow) pages. The 11 Next Big Thing artists range from established hitmakers prepping their next moves, to newcomers ready to claim their turns in the spotlight.
Be sure to pick up your copy of the print magazine here, or receive your free copy with the purchase of a yearly subscription.
“We treat the creation of this list with the serious weight it deserves,” says MusicRow Publisher/Owner Sherod Robertson. “As Nashville’s music industry trade publication, we are uniquely positioned to see the incredible talent on the cusp of breaking new ground. Whether reaching new heights in an already successful career or poised to make their first significant entrance to the national stage in 2015, the Next Big Thing artists are destined for bigger spotlights.”
Each artist will be profiled in the 2015 Next Big Thing print issue, which features plenty of other exclusive editorial content. A spotlight shines on the unique practices of Lou Taylor’s Tri Star business management. Kevin Kadish, producer and co-writer of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” provides insight about why the song is smash. Brad Turcotte, UMG Nashville marketing executive, talks about country music’s potential for brand partnerships and growth overseas. Other articles examine businesses committing to homes on Music Row, and how to maximize the potential of YouTube and SoundExchange.
