A weekly summary of events and resources for music managers.

 

We went to the Karousel/SESAC/MMF new talent showcase at Paper Dress Vintage! 3 MMF-member-managed artists were showcasing and it was great night. Some more dates for the showcase this year have been announced: March 19th, June 4th, September 10th and November 19th. We hope to see you there. Managers, see the below link for an Expression of Interest form for your artists performing at future showcases.
