Just Plain Folks (founded by FMC advisory board member, Brian Austin Whitney) is an online (and real-world) community comprising more than 51,500 songwriters, recording artists, publishers, record labels, producers and basically any other music-type, um, "folks." Their goal is simple: to help people involved in all levels of the music community network, share their experiences, build relationships and grow. JPF members have gone on to win Grammy's, Emmys, CMA Awards and Academy Awards. The JPF Awards Show -- the largest indie awards event on the planet -- takes place on August 29 in Nashville, Tennessee. read more
