Southern Soul Music Magazine is proud to present Southern Soul Music Expo! A 5-day summit featuring live performances, an award/honoree ceremony, classes/workshops covering a wide range of topics pertaining to the music industry, such as branding, marketing, innovation, music and more. Whether you are an artist, musician, DJ, industry personnel, music administrator, The Southern Soul Music Expo is the perfect place to increase your knowledge about the business side of the music industry, connect nationally and grow.
