MiNi (digital) Concerts Regional Music Series showcases some of the very best musicians emerging from the Mid North Coast region of NSW, Australia.

In 2022, Arts Mid North Coast and Music NSW partnered to produce the Mini Digital Concert series featuring 11 emerging local acts. The project aimed to showcase and lift the online presence of Mid North Coast artists by providing professionally produced live recordings and images to help further their career and gig opportunities.

Through an Expression of Interest process, artists were chosen and paid to perform and record three original songs at three local live music venues - 5 Church St Bellingen, The Music Station Macksville and Flow Bar in Old Bar - with an accompanying interview with host Josh Matheson, and a photoshoot with a professional photographer.

These digital assets were then provided to each artist to use in their Electronic Press Kits and promotions.
