The Legacy Behind TBAIMS Connect
Real Showcases. Real Artists. Real Industry Connections.
Built from years of live showcase experience through The Big Apple Indie Music Series, TBAIMS Connect continues the mission of connecting carefully vetted independent artists with meaningful creative and industry opportunities.
Featured Film-Ready Artists
Genre: Rock
Annie Minogue Band (AMB) delivers a high-energy sound that mixes rock attitude, pop hooks, and a touch of the blues. The New York City based band is fronted by Annie Minogue, a powerhouse vocalist, with guitarist Nunzio Signore, Nick Saya on drums, and bassist Brian Karp. With influences ranging from rock legends like The Rolling Stones, Black Crowes, and Fleetwood Mac, to iconic female vocalists like Janis Joplin, Sheryl Crow, and Patti Smith, AMB has carved out a distinctive musical identity all their own.
Original music is available for film/TV Licensing
AMB has shared stages with a diverse range of artists, including David Lee Roth, Blues Traveler, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Smithereens, Black Eyed Peas, Soul Asylum, and Chris Whitley, performing at iconic venues such as CBGB, City Winery, The Mint, and The Whiskey, and major events like the Texas State Fair, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Summerfest, and Bethel Woods Center For The Arts.
Their music has also been featured extensively across film, television, and radio, on networks like Lifetime, Sony TV, MSNBC, MTV, CBS, CW, and WB, and in independent films like Out of the Black and popular shows like Dawson's Creek and Strong Medicine.
Their accolades, among many, include the Intercontinental Music Award for Best American Rock Song, World Songwriting Award for "Sandbox," the FPCM Award for Best Original Female Voice, Impact Award for Best Female Singer/Musician 2025, the WoMelle Advocate For Change Through Music Award and the Silver Telly Award for “NOW!”. Notably, Annie's commitment to justice through music extends beyond the stage. She co-creates and produces the "Fair Play" concert series, a testament to her belief in music as a force for change, which aided the Bronx Immigration Partnership in 2019 and 2020 and will support Her Justice in September 2025.

Testimonials
"It was such an honor to play the Gibson Showroom and be part of the 2nd Big Apple Indie Music Series. Thank you to Jon and the rest of the team for inviting us to perform. The night had a real feeling of musical community which is often lacking in events such as these. I think the series is a wonderful way for musicians and industry to finally come together. Wishing you continued success!"
Annie Minogue
"When I performed at The Big Apple Indie Music Series (TBAIMS), I met a group of absolutely wonderful, positive, interesting and inspiring people, musicians and music industry representatives. We are all in this together to create great music. Jon and Brian do an incredible job in making this happen. Get ready to have some fun, and be open to who you may meet"
Daisy Jopling
"I enjoyed performing at the TBAIMS showcase event at Tammany Hall last night. The entire event was organized very well, from the collateral press material to the photographer, the MC, the streaming video and the great sound man. It ran smoothly and all the performers stuck to their alotted time, which can sometimes be difficult in a showcase atmosphere. The organization of TBAIMS were also very helpful with introducing me to industry folks that were attending the event. All in all, a worth-while experience that I recommend for indie songwriters and artists."
