Last  month, we announced singer/songwriter Megan Tibbits as our 2015 Program Artist.

With her recent exposure on the ABC television show Rising Star, we’re excited to welcome Megan into the Idle Tuesdays family. Our nonprofit program exists solely to support up-and-coming Los Angeles artists achieve the next milestones in their music careers, and that’s just what we plan on doing for Megan.

From January through December, our team of volunteers will be guiding Megan down the freeways, highways, and alleyways of the music business. We’ll have conversations about registering with performance rights organizations, best practices when using social media, what it really looks like to have a full-time music career, and how to make this world a better place through her music.

Now it’s time to make music.

In a few months, Megan will be recording three original songs. For this project, she’ll be teaming up with our music producer Matt Bang (pictured). To launch into the new year, and celebrate our first meeting with both artist and producer, we met at our favorite local Studio City hangout, Aroma Coffee and Tea Company.

This is our third year as a nonprofit recording studio and Megan Tibbits is our third Program Artist. We have been fortunate to have had a great lineup of artists coming into this year and are expecting to see even more growth and greater influence.

We hope you’ll join us on the journey!
