In the past few weeks, the three up-and-coming musician-servicing sites — Billboard Pro, Topspin Media and RootMusic — teamed up for three industry meetup parties: one in Nashville, one in Los Angeles and, just last week, one in New York. The events were well-attended as some of the best and brightest musicians, music industry people and technocrats in the industry met for drinks and mingling.
