Georgia Music Day 2012
Please join us on Monday March 2nd for Georgia Music Day at the State Capitol Georgia’s music history is rich and diverse and should be celebrated. 2016 is after all the Year of Georgia Music.
We encourage all industry professionals from singers, songwriters, musicians, producers and engineers from publicists, business managers, entertainment attorneys, promoters and venue managers, music educators and students to be a part of our collective voice.
We’d like to amplify the sound of Georgia’s music industry by coming together to discuss how we can work with Legislators to grow the music industry in Georgia.
