Join Texas Music Office Director Brendon Anthony at NOLA MusiCon Thursday, October 26 from 2p - 2:50p, for the panel “This Must Be The Place: How Music Can Make Your City Better”. +++ Shain Shapiro PhD will be celebrating his debut book of the same panel title, and will moderate a discussion that tries to answer a simple question: how can music-friendly policies directly improve local commercial music industries?
