ADVOCACY. CONNECTION. IMPACT.

THE VOICE OF INDIANA’S 

MUSIC ECONOMY

Why We’re here

Indiana’s music industry is more than entertainment — it’s an engine for jobs, tourism, and economic growth. Yet until now, the sector lacked a central hub to showcase its reach and connect the people and businesses behind it.

The Indiana Music Alliance was created to fill that gap. Born from the Indiana Music Strategy and guided by input from venues, studios, educators, and industry leaders, this site provides a unified platform to highlight our assets, advocate for investment, and strengthen Indiana’s competitiveness as a music state.

By making the scope and impact of our music economy visible, we’re building the case for the funding, policy, and partnerships that will keep Indiana’s music scene thriving.
