The historic Nashville flooding that took place in my hometown of Nashville left behind over 1.5 million dollars in damage and devastated the lives of thousands. The city is still working to recover, but it is going to be a long road. However, you can help musicians who were affected by the flood by donating to Low Notes For Nashville.
Our mission is to provide support and assistance to Nashville musicians affected by the devastating flood. We are a community of bassists focusing on helping Nashville musicians to get back on their feet. We are proud to work with the Nashville Musicians Association, and MusiCares to identify musicians in need and coordinate assistance. We sincerely appreciate their cooperation with our efforts. Please consider visiting our site and making a donation to this worthy cause.
All donations go to those in need. Our staff is not paid or compensated in any form. In fact, all of our staff is donating to the cause in some way.
Thank you,
Low Notes For Nashville
