Today, results from the ATX Music Census and Needs Assessment Survey will be released. This study of Austin’s music industry took place over three months and includes feedback from 4,000 survey respondents, eight focus groups and 20 interviews conducted by the Titan Music Group. The results of the survey will be released at the Austin Music Commission meeting, which will take place at 3 p.m., and will also be available at atxmusic.org. According to a press release about the census, it was commissioned to improve the city’s “understanding of musicians, music industry entrepreneurs and employees, and live music venues, along with the needs for future job growth, salaries, revenues, and other economic factors for these sectors.”
