Now Open: Submissions For N.B.T. Music Industry Directory
Submissions are now open for the N.B.T. (Next Big Thing) Music Industry Directory, that will be featured in MusicRow‘s print issue due out in December.
Launched last year, the N.B.T. Music Industry Directory is the first and only list of its kind, showcasing Nashville music business professionals who are rising through the ranks. This class of industry members occupy mid-level roles at their respective companies, and are on a trajectory of excellence to become future leaders in the Nashville music industry. Applicants should ideally have a minimum of 5 or more years experience in the music industry.
This print edition also includes the annual Next Big Thing artists listing, with editorial features focused on the touring segment of our industry.
