The CMJ Music Marathon could be back later this year after the brand was brought under the wing of Amazing Radio.
The showcase event, at which Live4ever was a regular, was held around New York City up to its final installment in 2015, but now Amazing Radio founder Paul Campbell has said he hopes ‘to breathe new life into CMJ and revive its influence and presence for the benefit of musicians and music’. “Its heritage is immense, but we intend to make sure CMJ’s best days are ahead of it by combining it with Amazing Radio,” he added.
Enigma Records co-founder Bill Hein echoed those sentiments, and they are, ‘still planning to bring CMJ back to New York in October, come hell or Coronavirus’.
“This is a revolution for American emerging artists; the opportunity to be played on the radio, increase their popularity through listener engagement, have the chance to play CMJ and grow their careers, all backed up by audience support and exert advice.”
