Join the City of Lubbock, the Lubbock Cultural Arts Foundation, the Lubbock Music Advisory Committee, and the Office of the Governor's Texas Music Office for the 6th Annual Texas Sounds & Cities Conference in Lubbock, TX November 6-8, 2024!
This two-day conference will include panel discussions on Texas music scene development, conversations about potential state-wide collaboration between the certified communities, as well as conversations spotlighting economic development best practices which in turn lead to increased music tourism and music scene cohesion. This yearly conference is a time for our Music Friendly Texas Certified Communities to come together and learn from each other. Music Friendly Texas Community Liaisons are invited to present updates from their respective programs. There will be time for round table discussions to learn from the successes and challenges of their fellow certified communities.

What is a Music Friendly Texas Community?
The TMO operates the Music Friendly Texas program, the first in the nation since introduced by TMO in 2016, which consists of an extensive network of over 60 certified Music Friendly Texas community partners across the state, all of whom seek to foster music business-related economic development and job creation in their Texas cities and communities.
