Springboard Music Festivals, dubbed the “music discovery festival”, announces its third location and debut in Memphis, Tenn., May 31 – June 2. For three days, emerging artists from all over the world, industry professionals and locals will gather at the Visible Music College to celebrate the future of music.
The conference and festival begins on May 31 with a two-day “Band Bootcamp” where 50 bands and solo artists cherry picked from the over 3,000 submissions will attend workshops, panels and pitch sessions with veterans and professionals in the music industry. This year’s mentors include Founder of Music World Entertainment and father of Beyoncé Knowles, Mathew Knowles, Guns N’ Roses’ first manager, Vicky Hamilton, and more.
Springboard Memphis culminates on June 2 with the wildly popular Band & Brew Crawl, which will feature all 50 artists performing at stages on famous Beale Street including the iconic B.B. King’s Blues Club, Rum Boogie Café and more. The Band & Brew Crawl is open to the public and all proceeds go directly back to musicians.
Springboard Music Festival made its way to Memphis after years of uber-success in Houston and San Diego. In the past, the festival has mentored and featured over 500 artists and assisted with over 75 career-changing deals including recording, management and publishing contracts.
