"Livin’ the Music was founded on the idea that music can, and will, change the world ~ the purpose of Livin’ the Music is to use music to bring light, love & hope to those in need. On Thursday, August 7th, we will be hosting a songwriters night at 3rd and Lindsley to raise awareness for The Lili Claire Foundation, a non-profit organization helping children living with neurogenetic conditions, while providing hope and resources to the families who love them. Livin’ the Music wants to do whatever possible to help the Foundation achieve their goals in Nashville. They will be opening the doors to their brand new center here in Nashville around the 7th, so this event is key to their success in the community."

Please come out and support this great cause and enjoy an incredible night of indie artists!!!
