Artists and Labels have been submitting music for the 2011 music festivals for a couple months now and will continue on throughout the year. Live shows are so crucial for growing a fan base for your music, and we are blessed to have such hard working artists.
Here at Tate Music Group, we have been busy building relationships with festivals and venues across the US and we are excited to share with you a few places you can see TMG artists this year!
