Black Music Honors

Blog Client News
On August 18th, 2016, the red carpet rolled out in Music City for a unique and memorable event: Black Music Honors (BMH). Our client, the National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM), celebrated the soul of American music with this inaugural event. BMH was held at the Andrew Jackson Hall of the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) and hosted in
Nashville. dGC was instrumental in developing the creative strategy, media relations objectives as well as red carpet execution. We also had a hand in the design of the Rhapsody & Rhythm awards presented to the honorees, working with acclaimed artist Jamaal Sheats who took his repoussé (2014/15) and converted it into a statue.
Designed by acclaimed artist Jamaal Sheats and Perri duGard Owens.
Black Music Honors is a music television special honoring legendary icons, artists and musical genres who have had a significant influence on American culture. Black Music Honors was produced by Central City Productions, Inc. (CCP) in conjunction with NMAAM and aired locally at the beginning of September and will air nationally on Bounce TV Network, Friday, September 23, 2016 at
9:00pm (EST).
