Downtown Music Publishing

In case you missed it, earlier this year our President, Emily Stephenson (as well as 5 others), was elected to the IMPF Board of Directors at the 2024 General Assembly in Dublin! She joins a group of esteemed industry professionals as one of the six newly elected members. The Independent Music Publishers International Forum (IMPF), is the global trade and advocacy body for independent music publishers. It works to create a favorable business environment for artistic, cultural, and commercial diversity, benefiting music publishers and the songwriters and composers they represent. We look forward to seeing the board's contributions to IMPF's mission and goals. Congratulations to Emily and all the new board members!

KDTU has performed at major festivals like Fuji Rock and Bonnaroo, collaborated with stars such as the Dave Matthews Band, James Brown, and Lenny Kravitz, and toured with the Allman Brothers, My Morning Jacket, D'Angelo, The Roots, Public Enemy, Bob Weir, Parliament Funkadelic, Slightly Stoopid, and Widespread Panic.
