The Essence of Mass Music Collective
Community Building: At its core, MMC is about nurturing a collective that strengthens and enriches the entire music scene. By featuring a diverse array of local bands, the collective fosters a sense of community among artists.
For Bands: Bands looking to elevate their presence can easily join the MMC Playlist. There's a simple process for submission: provide the band name, contact name, hometown, email, a link to the album on Spotify, and suggest songs. Importantly, bands retain all rights to their work; MMC uses Spotify's platform to feature these songs, promoting local talent without any encumbrance on their creative rights.
Business Involvement: Various venues, bars, restaurants, and stores are integral to this ecosystem. By playing the MMC playlist, they not only enjoy a rich selection of local music but also participate in the promotion of local talent. In return, MMC promotes any business that plays their playlist, creating a mutually beneficial relationship that bolsters the local music community.
Accessibility for New Bands: New bands in Massachusetts are encouraged to submit their Spotify links to MMC. The service is non-committal and fee-free, with the sole aim of bringing the music community closer together.

Discovering New Talent: Bands involved with MMC have the opportunity to discover and connect with other local bands that they might not have heard before. This can lead to new collaborations and opportunities to book shows together.
