The vision of the show’s producers is to shine a light on quality music of all kinds. While the mission of the show is to break down walls of "genres" and "categories," the general theme is to feature styles that emerged from the roots of American culture, with an emphasis on Tennessee: Country, Bluegrass, Folk, Singer-songwriter, Jazz, Blues, R&B and Gospel. In the true spirit of a global platform, World roots music is also welcomed, especially when there is a connection to the origins of the music born in the Americana culture.

NewGrooveMusic.com Is Looking For Extraordinary Indie Artists To Join Their Roster Of Today's Finest Emerging Musicians. We will carefully review all submissions and notify you of our decision within the next 7 business days.

We are looking for musicians to add to our music-related website, http://www.nurturemusic.biz. If you look through the photos on this website, you'll see that we are looking for photos where (a) the musicians' faces are well lit, (b) no microphone is in front of the face, (c) the eyes are clearly visible. If you look at standard concert performance photos, you would be surprised at how many photos are dark, grainy photos where the musicians have their eyes closed -- we are trying to avoid those types of photos. We also try to avoid any photo that has a disturbing element, such as blood, tobacco products, etc. We love finding musicians who have true talent, musical ability and outstanding skills with instruments and who have not yet found the audience that they deserve. We enjoy helping musicians attract an audience by providing publicity for their work. Please be aware that we like to add photo credits for the photos we feature. So, it helps if you can remember the name of your photographer! Also, we prefer to obtain permission from both the artist and the photographer for the use of the photo. Normally this involves is a routine exchange of e-mails. If your photo is a self portrait or if it was done by a friend or family member rather than by a professional photographer, we will still be happy to use it, as long as the photo matches our guidelines. Feel free to provide a link to a location where your photos can be viewed, such as your MySpace photo section. We sometimes review as many as 100 photos for a single musician before finding one that we would like to use on the NurtureMusic.biz website.
