Tim Timberlake wants to take local musicians to school.
“We’re looking to bring in musicians in all genres,” says the co-chairman of JAMinc, which books concerts and promotes music education and appreciation. “And we want to make it easy and convenient for the schools to schedule them.”
The new JAMinc Outreach Collective will give principals and teachers in local public and private schools access to a roster of local and regional performing artists, available for shows in class or school auditoriums—at no cost to the school. The first artists signed up for the venture include singer-songwriters Susan Greenbaum, Ali Thibodeau (Deau Eyes) and Mackenzie Roark, country artist Brad Spivey, soul singer Ms. Jaylin Brown, bluegrass band The Hot Seats and Tampa Taiko, which specializes in Japanese drumming.
