SoundCorps rewarding local musicians with grants

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – The SoundCorps organization announces two new programs to benefit local musicians.

One is a directory while the other is a grant.

“After listening to the feedback we received from the 2025 Music Community Survey, these new programs are rooted in what artists told us they need most: connection and support,” said Emerson Burch, Board Chair of SoundCorps. “We are thrilled to offer tools that help Chattanooga musicians be discovered, collaborate with artists and venues, and fund meaningful creative work.”

The new Musician Directory gives local artists a free place to announce their work.

You can find it at the SoundCorps website.

The Producer’s Fund Grant launches this week.

Every month, they will hand out $500 to help local musicians fund their next project.

The money comes from donations.

“It’s an exciting time for musicians and fans,” Burch said. “We’re kicking off the month with these new initiatives, but we have even more in store before the end of February. We’ll soon be launching a new multi-platform music show with WUTC 88.1 and Alex Volz and a digital skills education program for middle school age up to adults. Plug in with us and turn it up!”
