At SoundCorps' SpeakUp event in June, Chattanooga musicians stated that the most important need to help take their music careers to the next level was for a better understanding of music industry public relations, marketing and audience development. As a direct result of that conversation, SoundCorps developed TakeNote, a quarterly workshop series with a focus on professional development.
The first installment will take place Nov. 9 at the Bessie Smith Cultural Center at 6 p.m. and will feature panelists Jeremiah Lewis (Redeye Worldwide - Burger Records, Yep Roc), Kimberly Novosel (Press Management Group; Jarred Pierce, Garrett Goodwin), Max Pete (Empire Distribution - Gladys Knight, T.I., Tyga, Paul Wall) and Seth Weiner (Shimon Presents - Coachella, Hangout Music Festival).
The evening will kick off with a networking hour, then will feature a panel session moderated by SoundCorps Executive Director Stratton Tingle, followed by an audience-led Q&A.
Catering will be provided by Clyde’s on Main and Crust Pizza. Beer, wine and other refreshments will be available for purchase from the Bessie Smith Cultural Center.
