Located within Love Shack Studios in heart of Nashville’s legendary Music Row, Roland’s new Music City facility will offer artists, engineers and producers product support, gear demos, and much more, as part of a new bolstered global artist relations strategy
Los Angeles, CA — On Wednesday, June 27, 2018, Roland held a grand opening celebration of its new Nashville Artist Relations Center, located within Love Shack Studios in Nashville’s Music Row neighborhood. The event, which was attended by leading members of the Nashville music community, included a ribbon-cutting ceremony that also kicked off Roland’s activities around the annual Summer NAMM Show in Nashville. Founded to serve the needs of current and prospective Roland artists, the new center will be a hub for a variety of activities, including product support, social media initiatives, interviews, sessions, and unique streaming events, photo shoots, gear demos and much more. The A/R center is staffed with personnel specializing in Roland and BOSS equipment, and the center is under the direction of Brian Alli, Roland’s Vice President of Global Influencer Relations.
The facility’s co-location within Love Shack Studios will give Roland especially close access to the artists, producers, engineers, instrumentalists and music business professionals who often work in Nashville’s Music Row and Berry Hill neighborhoods, which are well-known as a hub for state-of-the-art recording studios and as a close-knit community of top music talent.
The opening of the center is part of an updated corporate artist relations strategy, following closely on the opening of a Roland Los Angeles Artist Relations Center in May. This ongoing initiative will bolster Roland’s global network, with a similar facility in London (at Metropolis Studios) to better serve Roland’s artist community. These facilities join other Roland artist relations centers in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada; Berlin, Germany; and
