This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Sugar Hill Records is an independent Nashville-based record label specializing in Americana, roots, and bluegrass music.

It has cultivated a worldwide community of loyal supporters while garnering countless accolades, including fourteen Grammy Awards.

We have one internship position available in the publicity & marketing department. While it is an unpaid position, the Sugar Hill internship comes with perks. It is an exclusive position that provides the opportunity to work with world-class musicians and industry leaders, attend some amazing concerts, and join the growing community of Americana music professionals.

We keep our interns busy in a variety of areas, and encourage each of them to contribute his/her own unique skills, ideas, and passions to our team. We are a small, hard-working staff that works closely together in all aspects of the company, and each staff member wears many different hats - our interns should expect to do so as well.
