Nashville, TN - In the spirit of Nashville's amazing creative community, the Arts and Business Council of Greater Nashville presents the first annual Music City Corporate Band Challenge, March 15, 2009, 6:00 pm at Belmont University's Massey Performing Arts Center.
Executives from middle Tennessee companies are invited to share their talents with the community and put together a company band to compete against other Nashville businesses...all for fun, pride and bragging rights! Prize monies will be awarded, in addition to the opportunity for the winning band to perform at the 2009 CMA Music Festival. Presented in partnership with Belmont University, net proceeds from the event will benefit Belmont University's Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business Scholarship Fund and the Arts & Business Council Community Engagement Programs.
Bands can register on the website at www.musiccitycorporatebandchallenge.com.  The deadline for registrations has been extended to Friday, February 20, 2009.  Preliminaries/Auditions will be staged at venues around town February 24, 25 and 26.  The finalists will be announced by March 1, 2009. Each band must have at least 50% company employees and one person at some level of management.   A complete list of rules and frequently asked questions is available on the website along with the entry form.  Tickets to the finals are $21 and can be purchased at www.NowPlayingNashville.com.
Co-chairs for the event are Ron Corbin of AllState, Rod Essig of Creative Artist Agency and Tony Conway of Buddy Lee Attractions.  Ron Samuels, President of Avenue Bank, and Chairman of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, has already entered the competition and claims his band is "Going to Rock the House!"  The Nashville Muse, Sunrise Entertainment and WebAlong® have already signed on as sponsors. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available, for a complete listing, please consult the website.
The Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville was formed in 2006 as a catalyst for Greater Nashville's business community to leverage the arts for economic vitality, while creating a greater awareness of arts and their important role in furthering and promoting our creative economy.

My friend Doak Turner runs a songwriters group in ....Nashville.... called the Nashville Muse www.nashvillemuse.com.  He sends out a weekly e-zine to 10,000 readers in the music business.  He has also created a place where established and new songwriters can hang, try out their stuff, and feed creativity to each other.  As with all songwriters, they also like to eat.  One of their favorite meals is Doak’s Taco Soup or Songwriters Soup.  So popular that Doak brought this and a couple other favorite foods to The Listening Room Cafe www.listeningroomcafe.com a popular ....Nashville.... restaurant that caters to the music community and songwriters. They now have a few items on the menu with the Nashville Muse brand name on it.  Twenty-five cents from every bowl of Nashville Muse Taco Chili goes to local songwriter charities. ....

Why am I writing about this?  Doak is creating branding.  He knows that the best way to market his product is to create brand awareness.  ....Nashville.... has more songwriters then any other city in this country.  Doak has created a niche that fits that demo.  He wants his brand to be on the mind of every songwriter in ....Nashville.........

He doesn’t have the marketing budgets to promote his brand in a traditional way.  He is always thinking outside the box.  Getting his name on menu items at a popular restaurant is a fantastic way to market.  He uses the power of the web and email to get his brand message out.  Doak makes sure he is always out in the music community.  He has networking down to a science.  He doesn’t give them the hard sell.  He is always offering his help (many times pro bono).  He gives songwriters a brand they feel comfortable with.  But the most important part of all is that Doak loves what he does.  That is what will drive his brand to success.  Think about this as you market your next show or event.....
