According to Linda Wilson, President of the Texas Country Music Association, the Texas Country Music Summit, and Texas Country Music Industry Awards will be different than any other type of music conference. “We’ve designed this Summit to be educational and informative with our primary focus on listening to the needs of those in the industry. We will be interacting with each other prior to the event to determine issues that need to be addressed, then bring in industry pros who are Texas Country Music industry stakeholders to provide direction and possible solutions. We want to know the needs of the artists and those making, playing, and supporting the music, and we will have panel participation from those in the Texas Country Music industry to provide their expertise at the conference. It will not include companies whose primary goal in participating is to ‘sell’ their services but will include individuals who are on-the-ground in the industry here.” If you are interested in serving on the Texas Country Music Summit panel for your industry group, and are an active member of the Texas Country Music Association, please complete the application form at https://texascountrymusicassociation.org/summitpanel/ or email Linda Wilson at tcma@texascountrymusicassociation.org.
