Keeping Music Culture Alive in a Streaming World

Mar 15, 2017

12:30pm – 1:30pm CT

2015 was a turning point in consumer adoption of streaming - convenience, access, and portability won. Now tech giants control much of our listening experiences – but is a playlist enough to keep music culturally relevant?

Is the artist’s counter culture voice still alive, speaking for and to those with an alternative viewpoint? How do disappearing record stores impact local culture? Where will intimate shows occur if live music venues continue to be pushed out in the race of urban development?

Join a panel of current performing artists, technologists and activists as they discuss trends, risks and local efforts underway to keep music culture alive in a streaming world.
