Indie music is well known for its low profile and refusal to conform to current trends. The musicians take pride in their individuality and their ability to survive in a cutthroat industry in the absence of compromising on their beliefs. But even the most dogged and persistent musicians need a bit of help and luck in breaking into the scene and establishing independent credibility.
Showcase get togethers are an ideal way for musicians to perform to a expansive  audiences, gain experience, and start building reputations on the independent scene. The Independent Music World Series is one of the largest showcase get togethers for independent music in the US. Tony van Veen, the vice president of sales and marketing for one of the major sponsors, states that independent musicians play a important role in keeping the music industry energised and thriving.

The showcases are meant to serve as a platform for emerging musicians and to inform musicians and their managers innovative promotion techniques.
