Gov. Greg Abbott announced the Texas Music Office (TMO) and the City of Round Rock will co-host a virtual Music Friendly Community workshop on Tuesday, March 30. TMO Community Relations and Outreach Specialist Chip Adams will co-host the workshop via livestream to represent the TMO, answer questions, and speak about the Music Friendly Community program.

Participation in the TMO’s Music Friendly Community program provides Texas communities with a network for fostering music industry development, and sends a clear message to industry professionals that certified communities are serious about attracting and developing music industry growth. Round Rock’s workshop is the first step in the certification process, and when complete, Round Rock will join more than 20 other Texas cities that have earned the coveted designation “Music Friendly.”

“As we focus on revitalizing all aspects of the Lone Star State — work, school, entertainment, and culture — Texas is committed to working alongside music industry, business, and community leaders in Round Rock to ensure they have the knowledge and tools they need,” Gov. Abbott said. “Music is a big part of the Texas brand and our local economies, and I thank the Texas Music Office for helping communities like Round Rock succeed.”
