Goal: Nashville will have the best, most diverse live music scene in America.
The Live Music sub-committee is working to increase the support and involvement with the many festivals that take place in Nashville, as well as the numerous local live music venues. Working with club owners, this group is committed to making our local and state laws helpful, not harmful, for these venues.
As Nashville’s music culture continues to grow, it is inevitable that there will need to be bigger and better places to hold traveling shows and concerts. Therefore, the sub-committee has been studying models that have worked in other cities and making recommendations for what fits Nashville, while also continuing to develop venues such as Riverfront Park.
