Operation Music Town
Operation Music Town
Operation Music Town
Operation Music Town is a Veterans of the Arts program that works from a simple principle. If we can produce shows that sell out every participating venue, whether in one side of a city, or an entire small town, together we can SAVE THE MUSIC.
100 Miles of Music
Operation Music Town
Operation Music Town
100 Miles of Music is built to fill the increasing gap between the death of print media and the needs of emerging artists to engage with authentic music journalism. We build content with creators who deserve both attention and development.
