– After seeing all those tax breaks for film makers in Georgia, the music industry folks around here have founded nonprofit organization Georgia Music Partners to try and get some of that incentive action for studios and the like. It seems like the main issue is that “The Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment tax credit, which is credited with driving business to the state, does not address major segments of the music industry, such as sound recording or live entertainment,” according to the organization’s press release. We’re looking forward to seeing how they’re going to sort this all out for our hard-working musicians, producers, club-owners and everyone else with a piece of the Georgia Music Pie.
