Vision and Core Values

Equity & Inclusion - We believe every musician and music appreciator should feel welcome within the music community and be provided the same opportunities and accessibility regardless of their demographic or genre of choice. We provide a safe and welcoming space for all people.


Cultural Exploration & Enrichment   - Since music is tied closely with culture, we encourage the public to discover new music, especially from genres they don’t typically listen to. We hope that through music, people will be open to expanding their cultural pallet to have a better understanding of all the communities that surround them. 


Community Building - We embrace the communal and connective powers of music to bridge together different communities and cultures to create a more connected Middle TN. Music helps enrich society by creating more vibrant cultures and communities. We also believe treating others with kindness, respect, and acceptance regardless of their demographic, race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and gender is crucial to having stronger communities. Therefore, our programming aims to help reduce discrimination and hate within our communities. 


Accessible Professional Creative Services   - We provide opportunities to music artists from any background and genre to have access to essential resources and services to aid in sustaining and building their careers. Our programming also helps support the music ecosystem artists need to create, record, and share their music while living in Middle TN. 


Music for Healing -  We believe that music has healing and therapeutic properties for mental health, overcoming adversity, and dealing with hardships life and society can bring individuals and communities. We provide a platform for artists to have their voices and stories heard and seek to amplify them to as large of an audience as possible.
