Take it from the bands that have played:

"CMJ was our first experience where music meets business head to head. We met hundreds of people in the industry. We were even asked last minute to showcase for a major label in a private room. If you are in a band and things are getting serious you MUST play CMJ." - Gentlemen Hall, CMJ 2010

"From the competency of the panelists, to the pleastness of its volunteers and employees, the thorough nature of their communication, and the high-quality of the artists and performers that are booked, CMJ is a definitive star in the world of music conferences and festivals." - Bellflur, CMJ 2009

"Being an unsigned band from New York City, we were proud to be a part of such a popular festival. Getting to check out some of our favorite bands from all over the world was really great." - I Love Monsters, CMJ 2010.
