Launch Of The Emerging Artists Support Group Forum

The Emerging Artist Support Group 
has officially launched their support 
forum.  Please take time to participate 
and contribute.
From January 20th to January 24th, 2011, a group of Bluegrass Artists and Professionals gathered at the Inn at Evins Mill in Smithville, TN to explore a wide array of big, medium and small support programs especially geared towards Emerging Bluegrass Artists.

This group’s core agenda was to design the structures and tools Emerging Artists might need, or find useful, to be successful in the music business as professional career artists. A second essential focus was expanding the audience, understanding, and market for bluegrass music in general. 













This group of 18 professionals has now organized into six working groups under an umbrella organization called “The Emerging Artist Support Group” that developed one coherent set of 6 key action programs and structures which will deploy and unfold in the next few weeks, months and years.

Participants Kyle Burnett and Matthew Munsey were selected to lead the Emerging Artist Support Group.


The group's webpage headquarters provides a social-media type format to allow interaction among group members.  Such tools as forums for discussion, Chat Rooms, Calendars, Blogs, Galleries and more are all available for learning, growing, sharing and overall improvement in one's self as well as the industry as a whole.
"The Emerging Artists Support Group Forum is a great new tool for artists wishing to be successful in the bluegrass world.  I'm honored to be a part of it!"   -Lee Marcus
