Community interaction including fans, artists, producers, industry executives and writers can be had in The Green Room ,our social network providing a forum for exchanging thoughts, ideas, comments, pictures, and feedback; promoting upcoming shows; recruiting street team members and generally sharing in the sculpting and shaping of the future of music in Chicago.
Initial success stories – When you start something, you can’t always predict all of the outcomes. Sometimes you get surprised. Sometimes those surprises are even pleasant. SecondWaveMusic.com has served as a surrogate to out-of-town record labels and management companies looking for local support for their touring acts. Through our network we’ve been contacted and have directed industry exec’s to our site which has served as a “menu” for listening to and selecting potential local support acts. That’s part of the point. We know that it’s the right thing to do. Just like with all discoveries, you can’t predict all uses. Get something out there, and let the market decide how to use it.
The Future of Music? – you tell us…
Chicago is a great music city and is just the first stop for Second Wave Music. We’re looking for innovative and connected partners to expand our presence in other underserved, emerging, exciting music markets.
