Frequently Asked Questions

ARTISTS

I want to perform at the next Music On the Move showcase. How do I apply? 

Applying is easy! When submissions are open, just submit your application through the Google Form on our main page. 

Do I have to be a country artist to play Music On The Move?

Nope! All genres are welcome. We try to select artists that sound good together but are not necessarily the same genre. Think of it as your favorite mood playlist on Spotify - that’s what we’re going for!

Can I perform with a pre-recorded track or my own band for the showcase?

We require all artists perform either with our all-female house band, or play for themselves. They’re fantastic! They will learn your songs and you will have the opportunity to rehearse with them before the show. 

Can I have my musician friend perform with me? 

If your friend is a woman, yes! The point of Music On The Move is to showcase the amazing female talent in Nashville both on & off stage. 

What instruments are in the house band? 

This can vary from showcase to showcase. Typically, we have a guitarist, drummer, and bassist! HellCats will be confirmed before lineup announcements so each artist is aware!

Are bands accepted as submissions? Or just solo acts? 

All female performers (duos, individuals, and bands) are welcome to submit! Keep in mind that we will still have you perform with our house band and so, the leading ladies will be featured, not the rest of the group. (ie: if Paramore were to submit, we’d feature Hayley Williams, and let the guys come in & cheer her on!) 

I was not born a female, but I identify as a woman. Am I still eligible to submit to play Music On The Move? 

Absolutely! 

Will there be a photographer there?  

Yes! We have our own in house photographer capturing the concert! All requests for photos can be sent to info@musiconthemovestudios.com

What sort of time commitment is there?

We set up rehearsals with the house band on a specific day, if you cannot make it to that day, you will be performing as a solo acoustic act. f you wish to play for yourself as a solo act, that’s totally fine! Day of show schedules can vary but there will be a brief soundcheck before doors open and then the show typically runs for 2 hours.
