Artists & Showcases
The Baltimore Music Conference is about supporting and nurturing the local scene, as well as bringing visiting talent into our city. Set up to showcase those who need exposure, but also those who have made a name for themselves in the music industry as we believe each benefits and can help one another.
This is what the BMC is all about!
Each year we showcase over 100 bands and DJs during the event giving our artists an audience of 1000's that may not have discovered them yet.
Our, as of yet, unknown performers are the ones to 'keep an eye on'. They are the newest, freshest acts out there in all genres of music from rock to jazz, house to hip hop, and blues to electronica.
Our veteran performers are the ones we extend our gratitude to for performing in support of the BMC and our efforts to keep Baltimore abuzz with the sound of music!
Musical showcases will be held nightly at multiple venues around the city. Each one featuring emerging as well as seasoned talent.
The following have been confirmed to perform at the 2009 BMC!

Industry Sessions
Our seminar series is an educational forum for the musician, the DJ, and for those interested in the workings of the music industry. The educational aspect of the BMC is one of much importance as we strive to prepare those wanting to work within the industry with the information and tools they need to succeed.
Many of our seminars are informal panel discussions centered around couches and comfortable chairs or with people sprawled out on the floor intensely listening or relaxing amongst their mentors and peers as this is, after all, 'Bawlmer hon', where we're a bit relaxed, a bit flexible and a bit different than most, but most importantly, where we want you to feel comfortable asking questions and speaking up!
