Waco Music Friendly Designation
On July 30, 2020 the State of Texas certified Waco as the twelfth Texas city designated as a “Music Friendly Community.” Participation in the program establishes a public reputation for Waco as a community that not only has a growing and thriving music scene but as a community that promotes what we have here. It connects Waco with the Texas Music Office (TMO) and the programming and initiatives that can benefit our city. What we do in Waco will be amplified through the TMO’s social media, website, and channels. It allows us to work more closely with other music-friendly communities to see what is working and allows us to be innovative leaders in cultivating and supporting our music community.
The designation was the result of a year of hard work by a grassroots local group including Katie Selman of Keep Waco Loud, Lindsay Liepman of Channel 25, Fiona Bond of Creative Waco, and the Director of the Waco Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). The group held a workshop in August 2019 where artists and professionals representing many styles of music gathered to support seeking the designation. The gathering was the largest workshop of its kind in Texas, with well over 100 attending.
Other designations awarded by the State of Texas: the Waco Downtown Cultural District, Film Friendly Community, Brew City, Texas, and Music Friendly Community. These designations indicate that Waco wants to attract activity in these sectors, and supports these important parts of the Waco economy.
