Participation in TMO’s Music Friendly Community program provides Texas communities with a network to promote the development of the music industry and sends a clear message to industry experts that certified communities are serious about attracting and developing the growth of the music industry. The Smithville workshop is the first step in the certification process. Upon completion, Smithville will be among more than 20 other cities in Texas to have received the coveted “Music Friendly” award.
“As we unleash the full power of the Texas economy, I look forward to continuing to work with community and business leaders in Smithville to ensure they have the knowledge and tools they need to be successful,” said Governor Abbott . “Music is a huge part of the Texas brand and our local economy, and I thank the Texas Music Office for helping communities large and small to strengthen creative partnerships and fuel new business growth.”
“We’re excited to be hosting a Music Friendly Community Workshop here in Smithville,” said Smithville Mayor Joanna Morgan. “We recognize the powerful impact music has on our economic development. Having the Texas Music Office as a resource will be invaluable to our community.”
Musicians, venues and the public are invited.
