Presented with support from Riser House, The Orchard, Triple Tigers, Leo33, Curb Records Nashville, Red Street Records, Ignition, Back Blocks Music, River House Records and Black River Entertainment, artists and industry guests in attendance included Ian Munsick, Emily Ann Roberts, Trevor Snider, Austin Williams, Tyra Madison, Hudson Westbrook, Tyce Delk, Austin Snell, Walker Montgomery, Taylor Austin Dye, Trey Pendley, Jenna Paulette and Aubrie Sellers, among many others.
“What started as a grassroots idea has grown into a third-year tradition of creating a space for independent labels and artists to connect and celebrate with all members of the industry,” says Megan Stottlemyer, VP of Label Operations at Riser House Entertainment. “Indie Night continues to shine a spotlight on all the incredible work that independent labels and artists are creating. In today’s music industry, independent labels are no longer the underdogs — we are shaping the future of the industry.”
“Indie Night in Vegas was the perfect gathering for the labels and artists in town for the awards. Top-notch crowd, and a perfect, off-the-beaten-path venue,” shares Margaret Hart at YouTube.
