Governor Greg Abbott today announced that the City of Marshall, having completed the multi-step certification process, has been designated as a Music Friendly Community by the Texas Music Office (TMO). The Music Friendly Community program seeks to foster music business-related economic development in Texas cities and communities.

“Music is a big part of the Texas brand and is deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of our great state,” said Governor Abbott. “Music Friendly Communities certified by the Texas Music Office are serious about attracting and developing the local music industry to boost local job creation and economic growth. I congratulate the City of Marshall on earning the Music Friendly Community designation, and I look forward to working together on their continued success.”

“Marshall is rich in history and culture and music,” said Senator Bryan Hughes. “As the birthplace of boogie-woogie and home to countless gifted musicians and a vibrant music scene today, Marshall is well-deserving of this designation. Thank you, Governor Abbott and the Texas Music Office, for giving Marshall this recognition.”
