September 17, 2024/by MusicRow Staff

Applications are now open for MusicRow’s N.B.T. (Next Big Thing) Music Industry Directory.

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 five or more years experience in the music industry.

The final list will be featured in MusicRow‘s Touring/Next Big Thing print issue, which releases on Dec. 3. The print edition also includes the annual Next Big Thing artist list, with editorial features focused on the touring segment of our industry as well as professional development.
