Nashville Producer Meetup

The best thing you'll make this year probably starts with a conversation you haven't had yet.

Nashville's producers, engineers, and audio creatives gather at HOME on the second Tuesday of every month for honest feedback, real craft conversation, and direct access to working professionals who rarely talk this openly outside a session.

Each month features a guest from the production world who talks honestly about how they think, how they work, and how they've sustained a career in an industry that doesn't make it easy.

What the evening looks like:

• 6:00PM - Open networking. These are working producers and engineers, not people handing out business cards hoping something sticks.
• 6:30 PM - Intimate Q&A with a monthly featured guest. This is where you hear how someone actually built something, not the version they'd give in an interview.
• 7:00 PM - Small-group listening sessions in HOME's 24/7 studios (bring a track or just your ears)

Bring something in progress if you have it. Leave with at least one conversation you'll still be thinking about on Wednesday.

Ages 21+. BYOB. Complimentary refreshments while supplies last. Great food nearby before or after.

The HOME community is where Nashville's music creators build sustainable careers together. RSVP now - space is limited!

*Donations accepted - all donation proceeds benefit the Helping Music Foundation, whose mission is to support, educate, and elevate the musicians in your community. Make a donation HERE.

August's Featured Guest:
Shannon Sanders, Executive Director, Creative BMI-Nashville | 3X GRAMMY, Emmy, Dove Award-Winning Producer

ABOUT SHANNON

SHANNON SANDERS has the kind of list of accomplishments that truly makes you wonder if he’s somehow been blessed with more hours in the day than the rest of us. Nationally, he’s best-known for his GRAMMYs (2), Emmys (2) and Dove (1) award. But in Music City, the place that is perhaps the most-fitting for his resume, SHANNON holds an endless list of titles and positions.

Not only is he the founder and program director of Nashville Scene’s “2018 Best Soul Radio Station” pick, 102.1 FM THE VILLE and a National Trustee of the Recording Academy, SHANNON is also a city commissioner for the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation, a board member of the Nashville Ballet, a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Inc. and, he was one of the music industry leaders selected for Leadership Music’s Class of 2017.

If you were to ask people to describe SHANNON, words like “super-producer” (he’s worked with India.Arie, Jonny Lang, John Legend, Robert Randolph, just to name a few), “gifted musician” (he’s served as co-musical director for India.Arie and Fisk Jubilee Singers Annual Spring Sing at the Ryman for several years), “amazing vocalist” (he was a mainstage artist at Nashville's 2018 July 4th Celebration), visionary and mentor are what you would probably hear most.

But if you were to ask SHANNON how he sees himself, he’d probably say “Hungry.” His loyalty to the music scene at-large, his passion for the growth and development of artists along with his steadfast commitment to both the local and international music community make it easy to understand why he’s such a progressive individual.

What he’s already done, he’s thankful for but it’s what he’s yet to accomplish that is his creative fuel and driving force.
