MUSIC BIZ 2015 GETS TUBULAR

Music Biz 2015 is happening in Nashville for the first time in its 57-year history from May 12-14th, and on the agenda is a fantastically modern spin on things, with YouTube hosting a special night of live perfomances direct from the iconic Wildhorse Saloon beginning at 9 p.m. CT on 5/13.

Artists from all three major labels as well as Redeye will be participating: Casey James from Sony Music Entertainment, Jana Kramer from Warner Music Group, Mike Posner from Universal Music Group, and Tony Joe White from Redeye.

"Live music has always been such an important part of Music Biz, with a wide range of artists and genres represented in years past,” said James Donio, President of Music Biz. ". “Bringing the convention to Music City USA makes live performances an even more important component of the event."

“Fans today experience music in so many ways online, but a live show always promises to deliver a special connection between the artist and fans," said Vivien Lewit, Head of Artist and Label Relations, YouTube. "That’s why we can’t wait to host ‘Live at the Wildhorse’ to celebrate incredible artists with our friends in Nashville’s music community. I also look forward to meeting many, many guys named Morty."
