FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Leigh Brannon / Emmit Martin squint to Showcase
in Nashville for Film & Television Conference Nashville – squint, has been selected to perform a highly sought after and coveted spot at the 2003 All About Music Showcase, an event where music supervisors from New York and Hollywood converge on Nashville to find rock and country music that would fit well with their movies and television shows. The list of artists performing is extremely small; squint is one of only 8 of the best unsigned bands in the country that will play alongside 7 major label artists. Former EMI Music Publishing Creative Director Emmit Martin formed All About Music in 2000 as a vehicle for talent to gain placements in popular television programs, film projects and movie soundtracks. All About Music has staged two highly successful and much talked about musical gatherings in Nashville and has helped garner exposure for the Nashville community in music supervisor circles. As a result of past retreat success stories, the All About Music TV & Film Retreat has positioned itself as the preeminent outlet for major and independent labels to showcase their artists while establishing a roll-up-the-sleeves-and-get-results reputation within the industry. All About Music event participants and clients have earned song placements on NBC’s “Third Watch,” the WB’s “Felicity,” UPN’s “The Twilight Zone” and a live performance on HBO’s “Def Jam Poetry Slam” among others. Sponsors of the event include Curb Records (Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes), the Country Music Association, SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers), the Nashville Songwriters Association International, and Sonicbids. Squint will be giving their performance at The Mercy Lounge in Nashville on Friday, June 13th at 7:30pm – the show is free and open to the public.

This event was most definitely time well spent.”
