NASHVILLE SYMPHONY MUSICIANS

We are devastated to hear the news of your furlough. You've given this city so much music, and we want to help keep you playing. The Sub Pool is offering every Nashville Symphony musician a free membership for one full year. Unlimited gigs, on us. DM us and we'll get you set up.

PERSONNEL MANAGERS

If your orchestra is looking for great players and wants to support Nashville musicians right now, we can help. Send us a DM and we'll connect you with Nashville Symphony musicians who are available and looking for work.

PRINCIPALS

You know your section better than anyone. Talk with your personnel manager about bringing in some of these displaced Nashville players. A single call from you could keep a colleague working this season.

HELP US SPREAD THE WORD

Please share this post and tag any Nashville Symphony musicians, personnel managers, or principals you know. The more people who see it, the faster we can get these players back on stage.

Built by musicians, for musicians. 🎻

Follow @the_sub_pool and @thefearlessartistmastermind 
“There’s no violas in Mississippi.” 🎻

Freelance musicians are out here feeling completely alone: no connections, no resources, no one who understands the hustle.

But what if that could change? 👇

Thomas Zera is building something that could transform how musicians connect, travel, and get their music out there, and it starts with community.

Careers are often built on connections that happen over time.  A recommendation, a past colleague, a last-minute call.

The Sub Pool is helping connect those dots in a new way, making it easier for musicians to be seen and for personnel managers to find the players they need.  The more musicians who join, the stronger the network becomes.

Together, we can create more opportunities and support the future of our industry.

Join The Sub Pool.  Free to join for musicians, and the first gig is on us.  No credit card needed.  Zero risk. by @the_sub_pool

Every new connection creates more opportunity.

Together, we can build a more connected future for our industry.

Did you know that orchestras need band instruments too?

Think pops concerts, movie scores, cover bands, and video game music performances.

Personnel managers are often looking for Rhythm Upright Bass, Electric Bass, Drum Set, Jazz/Pops Piano, Guitar, Soprano and all Saxophones, Accordion, Harmonica, Mandolin, and Banjo to round out their rosters. 

Be the first call when these opportunities come up.

Create a free profile on The Sub Pool. No credit card needed, and your first gig is on us.

If you know anyone who performs or doubles with orchestras on these instruments, feel free to share this post. by @the_sub_pool
