Musicians Invited to Experience NAMM’s Music Industry Day on July 11


     CARLSBAD, Calif. (June 2015) – NAMM will open its doors to musicians, songwriters, and sound and recording professionals during Music Industry Day from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on July 11(Saturday) at Nashville’s Music City Center. 

     Music Industry Day offers a once-a-year opportunity to demo new music instruments and products, attend workshops, enjoy live performances, and network with industry leaders at Summer NAMM, an exclusive, trade-only event. Tickets are available now for $10 in advance, $20 at the door.

     Music Industry Day will feature acoustic sets by Dustin Lynch, Louisa Wendorff, Tony Lucca, and Sabrina Lentini on the NAMM Acoustic Nation Stage. Crooner Lynch hit Billboard’s No. 1 Top Country Albums chart with his self-titled debut then followed up with “Where It’s At (Yep Yep),” a successful single that became a summertime anthem. Singer-songwriter Tony Lucca received national attention as a runner up on NBC’s The Voice and has enjoyed a thriving career on the live touring circuit with several top musicians such as Kelly Clarkson and Maroon 5. A social media star buoyed by one very “obsessed” fan on Twitter (Taylor Swift), Louisa Wendorff is known for her wildly popular mashups of hit songs, which receive millions of views. 





     The 32nd Annual American Eagle Awards, presented by the National Music Council, bring major star power to Music Industry Day. This year’s awards honor the life-long musical contributions of Charley Pride, Kris Kristofferson, Jim Lauderdale, Jim Halsey, Sherman Halsey and Nashville’s Music Makes Us. The event will occur from 12-1 p.m. in the Music City Center’s Davidson Ballroom with live performances by Rosanne Cash, Jack Ingram, Charley Pride, Jim Halsey and The Oak Ridge Boys.

     In addition to musical instrument and product demos from more than 1,600 music product brands, Music Industry Day will feature workshops designed to bolster careers in music. Workshops developed in partnership with NewBay media include The Insider’s World of Hit Songwriting, moderated by award-winning singer-songwriter Thornton Cline, as well as 10 Tips for Killer Guitar Tone and The Pedal Summit, must-attend sessions for guitarists, bassists and gearheads alike.

     In the afternoon, attendees are welcome to join Kala and REMO-sponsored ukulele and drum circles in the lobby. Full performance, workshop and event info can be found online: https://www.namm.org/summer/2015/music-industry-day/events
