If You're Looking for a Career in the Music Business, SoundCorps Is Here to Help

SoundCorps, a local non-profit whose goal is to “build Chattanooga’s music economy” is the result of two years' work, according to the executive director, Stratton Tingle. In the summer of 2014, a group of music business researchers from Austin, Texas were invited to Chattanooga to measure music’s impact on the city’s economy. Armed with the results of that study, Stratton Tingle formed a board and began raising money to establish SoundCorps as a resource for music professionals in Chattanooga. Richard Winham talked to Stratton Tingle and Max Pete, a music business public relations specialist from San Francisco in town for the first of a series of quarterly music business seminars organized by SoundCorps.
