February 22nd Insider’s View

Insider’s View this Wednesday @ 10am in MPAC
With special guest: Cory Gierman, MuzikMafia
Moderator: Dan Keen, ASCAP

One of “the Godfathers,” Cory Gierman founded the MuzikMafia along with Big Kenny, John Rich, and Jon Nicholson in October of 2001. Gierman’s job was that of the businessman, making sure everything ran smoothly during every show. The MuzikMafia began to grow as people took notice of the hard work and energy put into every Tuesday night show at Nashville’s Pub of Luv. With the mission of sharing their love of music, they did so with everyone who walked through the door, free of charge. Big Kenny and John Rich were soon signed as the act, Big & Rich, while MuzikMafia members Gretchen Wilson and James Otto were later signed due to the recognition they gained as being a part of the successful underground MuzikMafia movement. Since then, Gretchen Wilson has been certified as a double-platinum selling artist and Big & Rich have redefined the genre of country music. Thus, Gierman’s business success has definitely shared the MuzikMafia’s love of music with the masses.
