BMI To Kick Off Plug & Play Showcase In February
BMI will kick off its Plug & Play showcase series at The Basement in Nashville on Feb. 4. The first showcase will feature Future Crib, Preston James, Joelton Mayfield and Revelry.
Sponsored by Lone Star Beer and OLÉ, the series echoes the same sentiment behind the BMI Buzz at The Basement industry series, which ran from 2008 to 2018. The original series featured early-career performances from artists like Russell Dickerson, Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris and Caitlyn Smith.
“BMI has had a long-standing partnership with The Basement, as both continue to be deeply invested in the future of our creators and new music discovery,” says BMI’s Executive Director of Partnerships & Events, Nina Carter. “We look forward to reviving an intentionally curated lineup and atmosphere that brings our community together.”
“We are psyched to launch a new BMI monthly series that builds on our shared history,” adds The Basement Co-Owner Mike Grimes. “It feels like just like old times and we know BMI will identify exceptional talent this year.”
