ARTISTS! Our friends over at @salt_lick_incubator have grants for emerging artists open until this weekend. Check out eligibility and guidelines on their site. Salt Lick Incubator grants support emerging artists working in melody and lyric-driven music. Since 2022, these grants have supported artists in building sustainable careers 🎸

We are back it with @salt_lick_incubator for another amazing tour! This run will feature Nashville-based pop and R&B artist @claire.ernst and songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist @dani.offline, who was born in Birmingham, AL and raised between the U.S. and Italy. The tour will start March 27 and continue through April 12, with confirmed stops in New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA and Washington, DC. In addition to their Concord, MA performance, the two artists will appear as featured speakers and performers at Berklee College of Music’s annual Career Jam on the same day. Berklee Career Jam is an annual event that brings more than 50 artists and industry leaders to campus to share their expertise. The day includes professional headshots, workshops, breakout mentoring sessions, employer recruitment tables, and opportunities to audition for high-profile gigs. “Salt Lick Incubator is thrilled to help facilitate a co-headline run for Claire Ernst and Dani Offline. Claire’s hooks are undeniable and her clever concepts showcase what a versatile (and in-demand) songwriter she is. Dani Offline may be one of the most brilliant minds of her time and her vocal control and production sensibilities are otherworldly. Though they have each garnered thousands of fans, they are both at points in their career where stepping into the headliner position is a pivotal moment. We are so grateful to Live Music Society, D-Tour and the passionate independent venue owners across the country who have come together to partner on this indie-artist-first initiative.” - Liza Levy, President of Salt Lick Incubator Wed Mar 25 | Portland, ME | Longfellow’s Thu Mar 26 | Burlington, VT | The Showcase Lounge Fri Mar 27 | Concord, MA | Umbrella Arts Center Wed Apr 1 | New Haven, CT | Cafe Nine Fri Apr 3 | New York, NY | Berlin Under A Sat Apr 4 | Philadelphia, PA | Milkboy Tue Apr 7 | Pittsburgh, PA | Brillobox Wed Apr 8 | Washington, DC | Songbyrd Music House Thu Apr 10 | Roanoke, VA | The Spot on Kirk Sun Apr 12 | Nashville, TN | Mirror Mirror

Incredibly excited to be teaming up with @midtopiamusic for the @jc_taxidriver spring 2026 tour!
