National youth music touring project Hit The Road is 10 years old and is now accepting applications from Scottish-based musicians between the ages of 14-19.

Run by Scottish Music Centre and funded by Creative Scotland’s Youth Music Initiative (YMI) and the PRS Foundation, the initiative provides early-stage musicians the opportunity to learn about the live sector before embarking on a professionally managed tour.

Ahead of each tour, musicians attend expert masterclasses/workshops covering everything from production, performance, royalties and marketing.

Hit The Road equips young artists with the knowledge, contacts and tools necessary to work within the modern live industry.

The initiative has acted as a key stepping-stone in the development of some of Scotland’s most promising young artists, including; Lewis Capaldi, Be Charlotte, KLOE, Model Aeroplanes, Indigo Velvet & Aylee and is now OPEN for applications!

See the new Hit the Road website for more details & how to apply
