Local artist and MEM Tambourine Bash 2022 participant, Rachel Maxann, loved her experience and expressed gratitude for Music Export Memphis.
“Tambourine Bash was a rare and beautiful opportunity to collaborate with other artists in Memphis as well as showcase my own music,” Maxann said. “Music Export Memphis has not only helped me locally, but has also help me spread my music nationally. With their assistance, Memphis will be an even greater music destination.”
The Mem Tambourine Bash may not be until October, but Music Export Memphis offers a multitude of opportunities to engage local musicians and music lovers.
Music Export Memphis Ambassadors have access to merch funds, competitive scholarships, unrestrictive tour grants, festival features and more. See the requirements, and submit an application here.
A few MEM Ambassadors you may know will be making their way to Toronto, Canada to take the stage at North by Northeast Toronto Festival next month.
On June 1st, you’re invited to experience the show before they take flight! Ahead of every festival, MEM hosts a preview party that’s free and open to the public. Toss in $20 to access the open bar, spirited by Old Dominick.
