One home for every creative, venue, and stage in the region.
Regional rooms, IRL and virtual meetups, a shared gigs board, a resource library, and a direct line to the people already booking, playing, and presenting across our beautiful region. Free to join, built for and led by our community.
The region's music people, finally in one place.
The 2024 Northeast Tennessee Music Census asked 1,213 creatives, venues, and industry workers what they needed most. 51% told us the single biggest gap is a place to connect and collaborate, more than money or gear. 86% of us learned this business on our own, and 42% of venues are stuck untangling permits and regulations with no one to call. A shared, region wide directory fixes that. This is that place.
“I would love to collaborate with other musicians and/or join with a band but have no idea how to connect with like-minded folks.”
2024 Music Census respondent
Nobody should have to guess how to find their people or resources in a region with this much music in it. The hub exists so nobody does.
The lights are already on.
This is the actual hub, not a mockup. Rooms for every corner of the region, a gigs board with real dates, and a feed where asking for an intro, advice, or a hand is the whole point. The first face you see in there will be a neighbor's.
The hub is grassroots on purpose. Any member can start a songwriter circle, a jam, a meetup, or an event, and showcase their work to neighbors across all of Appalachia. It is also home to AMC's formal live events calendar, the monthly music newsletter, expert interviews, and virtual live events.
Regional rooms. Gigs and opportunities. Intros, advice, and kudos from people who actually show up. On the web and in your pocket, with apps for iOS and Android. And it is completely free.
Whichever hat you wear, there's a reason to be here.
Space, skills, and stability
Creatives, educators, and anyone supporting music connect with working peers, industry and marketing expertise, and find the resources 79% of artists have never received because they never knew it existed.
Fill the room, cut the friction
Audience development tools, best practices, and direct connections to other regional venues and organizations for help with music licensing and permitting.
A defensible economic case
The output, jobs, and earnings data to back a music tourism strategy, plus bookable, multiple night programming and a regional identity to build it around.
Regional rooms, one per region, every role mixed together
Each room is run by regional leads. Local gigs, local news, local faces, and a quarterly AMC meetup come with it, plus unlimited informal in person meetups initiated by community members.
Be part of it from the start.
Membership is free and open to every part of the region's music community, artists, venues, educators, and supporters alike.
