IN Covers
IN Covers are a monthly program designed to instill pride in Indiana music and create meaningful work for local musicians. Released monthly on our archive and blog, IN Covers feature Indiana musicians celebrating our great state’s music by covering another Hoosier band or artist of their choice. With nearly 4,000 listens and downloads, these projects push participating musicians’ creative boundaries and help music lovers discover great new IN music. AND, MFT pays for the recording at no cost to the band!
Interested in recording an IN Cover? Email us at info@musicalfamilytree.com and include your band’s press kit and/or website, links to your social media pages and the names of your band members. Additionally, please include the track you would like to cover along with a short paragraph describing why you’d like to cover that band. All bands participating must also have their music on the MFT archive (follow this link to submit your music).
Music Video in a Day
As a tool to showcase Hoosier talent in and beyond the music realm, MFT developed the Music Video in a Day program in August 2014. Each project pairs an Indiana videographer with a local musician and gives them one day to produce a music video together. MFT pays each videographer for their work and provides the video to the band at no cost to them. We have now provided over two dozen musicians with free music videos and plan to record new music videos every other month!
If you’d like to apply for a video project as a videographer or a musician, please email programs@musicalfamilytree.com and include your band’s press kit and/or website, links to your social media pages and the names of your band members. Additionally, please include a short paragraph describing how you would benefit from a free video and how you plan to promote it to your audience. All bands participating must also have their music on the MFT archive (follow this link to submit your music). (

EP in a Weekend
Part of MFT’s mission is to provide opportunities for local artists that foster creative freedom, and no program does this better than EP in a Weekend. EPiW brings together two to four Indiana musicians who have never played together and has them write an EP. MFT then pays a recording engineer to record it - all in just three days! These collaborations have ranged from contemporary percussion duos to hip-hop supergroups to fuzzy garage rock, all resulting in amazing stories and one-of-a-kind EP recordings.
If you would like to be a part of creating an EP in a Weekend, please email programs@musicalfamilytree.com and include your press kit and/or website, links to your social media pages and the name(s) of all the band members. Additionally, please include a short paragraph describing what interests you about this program and what you would hope to gain from the experience. All bands participating must also have their music on the MFT archive (follow this link to submit your music).
