At a time when the bulwarks of the music industry are collapsing, what does it mean to be a successful musician and artist? How might contemporary musicians sustain their artistic communities? Based on interviews with over seventyfive popularmusic professionals in Nashville, Beyond the Beat looks at artist activiststhose visionaries who create inclusive artist communities in today's individualistic and entrepreneurial art world. Using Nashville as a model, Daniel Cornfield develops a theory of artist activismthe ways that artist peers strengthen and build diverse artist communities.Cornfield discusses how genrediversifying artist activists have arisen throughout the late twentiethcentury musician migration to Nashville, a city that boasts the highest concentration of music jobs in the United States. Music City is now home to diverse recording artistsincluding Jack White, El Movimiento, the Black Keys, and Paramore. Cornfield identifies three types of artist activists: the artistproducer who produces and distributes his or her own and others' work while mentoring earlycareer artists, the social entrepreneur who maintains social spaces for artist networking, and arts trade union reformers who are revamping collective bargaining and union functions. Throughout, Cornfield examines enterprising musicians both known and less recognized. He links individual and collective actions taken by artist activists to their orientations toward success, audience, and risk and to their original inspirations for embarking on music careers.Beyond the Beat offers a new model of artistic success based on innovating creative institutions to benefit the society at large.
