Tidal is launching a new grant program to support emerging artists. Tidal Unplugged is a $1 million endowment program funded by a donation from Mark Lampert and Robert Nelsen. The pilot run of the program kicks off in Detroit, where local musicians will be able to submit their music for a chance to receive a share of the grant money. The money can be used to cover living expenses, equipment, studio time, and other creative resources. Finalists will record four new songs for distribution and perform at a showcase in November.
