Why Should I Join?

Dear Artist,
Imagine a network of thousands of musicians in the Midwest with which you could build relationships and collaborate with on numerous aspects of writing and performing…

Imagine a fan base that is eager to learn about your music, eager to engage with your brand, and wants to support you, your music, and your career…

Imagine a network of businesses & venues that are interested in supporting the artist community and want to tap into the country music scene in the Midwest…

Most of all, imagine a non-profit organization that is built upon the collective idea of building this EXACT NETWORK and serving to cultivate the country music community in the Midwest….what you’d have is the Midwest Country Music Association!
