FEATURED MEMPHIS ARTIST:
MSCMC NOTICE:
Our preliminary idea for the music player is to feature one song from a Memphis music icon and three songs from three individual emerging artists. The music will play for a two week period from the time that it's posted (give or take...please be patient) and then switched. Pictures will be posted along with the songs. The music presented here is for PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES only (no downloads available). There is no intention on the part of MSCMC to own or profit from this music. All songs (and pictures) must be original and owned by the submitting artist. If at any time the featured artist would like their music removed let us know and it will be removed immediately. We also reserve the right to remove or replace any artist at anytime. Your approval of the above grants the right to the use of your music and image and eliminates the MSCMC from any and all liabilities. If you are interested in submitting music and pics to be featured let us know...Thanks!

MEMPHIS MUSICIAN'S ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Musician's Advisory Council (MMAC) is a self-appointed collective of multi-genre representatives whose main purpose is to be a voice for the creative community and represent the needs, concerns, organized ideas and opportunities for local musicians and the industry that supports them.
The MMAC is an essential piece of the Music Commission’s strategy to understand the “who, what and why’s†of the local community and the systems that support it.
The MMAC will be the voice of the community to the Music Commission and will be an open forum for all partners related to the Memphis Music scene to have a clearinghouse for ideas, collaboration and concerns.
