Help Us Keep Songwriter Showcases and Industry Networking Alive!

At Hoosier Original Music Association (HooMac), we believe in the power of original music and the artists who create it. We work tirelessly to support Indiana’s folk and singer-songwriter communities, providing vital performance opportunities, industry networking, and advocacy for independent artists. We do this in addition to our once a year music showcase and networking conference, FARMette.

What We Do:
