Waco, TX – According to the state officials, theTMO Community Relations and Outreach Specialist Chip Adams will be in attendance to explain the Music Friendly Texas Community designation and the benefits of becoming certified and answer any questions. 

Participation in TMO’s Music Friendly Texas program, the first in the nation since introduced by TMO in 2016, provides Texas communities with a network for fostering music industry development and sends a clear message to industry professionals that certified communities are serious about attracting and developing music industry growth.

Linden’s workshop is the first step in the certification process.

When completed, Linden will join 42 other Texas cities that have earned the Music Friendly Texas designation. 

Gov. Abbott released the following statement:

“Music is key to the Texas brand and to our local economies. I thank the Texas Music Office for helping communities large and small develop creative partnerships and grow new jobs.

Working alongside local leaders like those in Linden, we can ensure Texas communities have the tools needed to succeed.”
