Why This Matters

There’s no denying that independent venues are the lifeblood of Nashville’s music scene. Recent studies reveal just how vital they are to our city’s culture, but many face significant financial challenges. As Chris Cobb, President of MVAN, beautifully puts it: “Independent venues are a foundation of Nashville’s live music ecosystem, yet they are quickly becoming an endangered species.”

The 615 Indie Live event is more than a concert; it’s about community, culture, and making sure the music continues to thrive in our city. Deana Ivey, President and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp, called it a chance for locals to explore new music and possibly discover a hidden gem right in their neighborhoods.

So get ready, Nashville! Let’s come together this winter to celebrate our independent music scene. Grab your friends, get those passes, and let’s make some unforgettable memories at 615 Indie Live!
