New to Nashville Music Industry Networking

>> How it Works:
You must register to attend on zoom.

The event is now open to the public to attend virtually, but only active HOME members can submit music for live feedback. If you're a member, send us something you’ve been working on - anything from a rough idea to a polished single. This is a chance to get feedback from a respected industry pro and possibly get tapped for future collaborations through HOME’s A&R team.

Not a member yet? No problem. You're still welcome to Register and watch the event. It’s a great way to see the creative process in action and discover emerging talent in the HOME network.

>> What to Expect:
This is a casual, come-as-you-are hangout where people play music, talk about their creative process, and get real feedback. Artists can share their own work, and music professionals can showcase tracks from artists they represent. You can also show off your studio or just hop on to say hello and meet other creators.

Please Register HERE and you'll get a unique link to join via Zoom.

See you soon!

For many independent music creators, recognition comes without traction.
Visibility without follow‑through. Praise without opportunity. It can leave you questioning your work, your timing, and sometimes your worth.

You get the nod.
The repost.
The meeting that feels promising.
The compliment that lands just hard enough to raise your expectations.
And then… nothing moves.

This session of the Music Creator Mental Health Support Group creates space to talk honestly about that in‑between place. The one where you know you’re doing something right, but the door hasn’t opened yet.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The emotional impact of near‑misses and industry validation that stalls
• How hope and disappointment can coexist in creative careers
• The difference between being seen and being supported
• Ways to stay grounded, motivated, and self‑directed when momentum feels unclear

This conversation centers on resilience without denial and clarity without self‑blame. It invites creators to process frustration, protect their confidence, and reconnect with their own definition of progress in an industry that rarely explains its decisions.

This online support group is a confidential, come-as-you-are space for music creators to talk about the pressures we carry, listen if that’s what we need, and find solidarity with others who understand. You are welcome to share, or simply sit in quiet community. This is not a therapy session.

All participants agree to a confidentiality statement. What’s shared in the session stays in the session.

This session is offered free to the public thanks to HOME – Helping Our Music Evolve and the Helping Music Foundation. If you’re able, consider making a donation to help keep these gatherings available to the creators who rely on them.

Please join this event HERE. Due to protective measures, we've moved these meetups into our HOME community app. Once you click through to join us, you'll be asked to create your FREE Account in the HOME App to join the hang! See you soon!
