Charitable, Sustainable and Safe Bar
PENCIL: Let Freedom Sing! is partnering with PENCIL (Public Education Needs Community Involvement & Leadership), which links community resources with students and teachers at Metro Nashville Public Schools, and will raise funds and collect school supplies to support PENCIL.

  • One dollar from each official event t-shirt sold will go to PENCIL.
  • To help support PENCIL, event sponsor Simply Done, a household essentials brand, is generously donating essential school supplies such as crayons, folders, glue sticks, markers, notebooks, pencils, pencil cases, rulers, scissors and more to benefit 500 Metro Nashville students.
  • Presenting Sponsor Dr Pepper will donate 500 student backpacks. Together, these contributions will sufficiently equip an entire Metro elementary school with the necessary supplies and backpacks.
  • Event attendees are encouraged to make a contribution to PENCIL.

Refillable Water Bottles: As part of the event’s sustainability initiatives, event partner ORCA (Outdoor Recreation Company of America) donated Hydra refillable water bottles, which will be distributed to event production crew and first responders to refill rather than using bottled water.

The NCVC will continue sustainability practices from previous years, including recycling cardboard, aluminum and plastic; recycling solid grease and grease water; composting and upcycling signage for re-use as art supplies; and using energy-saving LED lights in video and lighting, as well as solar powered lights. Additionally, Care Kitchen Outreach will pick up extra catered food to distribute to local nonprofits.

Compost Nashville: The event partners with Compost Nashville to collect organic waste material, including a composting station at the Amazon Family Fun Zone in Music City Walk of Fame Park.

Safe Bar: Let Freedom Sing! will be a Safe Bar event, with key bar and security staff trained in bystander intervention and awareness about alcohol’s role in sexual assault. The most recent New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash was the first Safe Bar event in Tennessee. For more information, visit SafeBarApp.org.

Red Frogs: Volunteers with Red Frogs help create a positive presence at music festivals. They will have a tent at the Amazon Family Fun Zone at Music City Walk of Fame Park where they will give away cups of water to help keep everyone hydrated and provide sunscreen. They will provide a free phone charging station. Red Frogs volunteers will also rove around the event site to ensure patrons are safe and to provide immediate help where needed.

Artist Bios

Chris Young
Multi-platinum global entertainer Chris Young has accumulated an impressive list of accomplishments, including membership in the iconic Grand Ole Opry, over 5 billion on-demand streams, 13 career No. 1 singles, 24 R.I.A.A. certified projects and numerous ACM, AMA, CMA and Grammy nominations, as well as wins for Performance of the Year and Collaborative Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards. These milestones and more landed the RCA Records Nashville artist among Billboard’s top country artists of the decade.  Young’s ninth studio album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, was recently released March 22 on Sony Music Nashville. The project features 18 songs, 15 of which Chris had a hand in writing. He is the sole producer on three of the songs and shares co-producer credits with longtime creative partners Chris DeStefano and Corey Crowder. The album’s title track and current single leans into David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel” signature guitar lick, making the legendary rocker a writer on the song. Named “one of his era’s finest traditionalists” by the Associated Press, Chris is an international ambassador for country music, performing to capacity crowds around the world. With a hit-packed set that highlights his thirteen chart-toppers — including back-to-back No. 1s “Famous Friends” and “At The End Of A Bar” — the GRAMMY and ACM nominated vocalist’s most recent headlining tour played to over 400,000 fans in three countries. He launched his “Young Love & Saturday Nights” headlining tour in April. chrisyoungcountry.com

Yola
Yola is a six-time GRAMMY-nominated artist, songwriter, and actor who has achieved critical acclaim, breakout success, and has been proclaimed as one of the most exciting and innovative artists in music today. NPR called her latest album, Stand For Myself (2021), the “best soul record of the past 20 years,” while Rolling Stone championed her as “one of contemporary pop’s greatest singers, who just so happens to also be one of its sharpest songwriters.” Yola made her acting debut as the founder of rock and roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, in Baz Luhrmann’s musical drama, ELVIS, and earned a NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Breakthrough Performance in a Motion Picture. She made her awards show performance debut at the American Music Awards in November 2022, as their featured Song of the Soul performer. That same evening the ELVIS movie soundtrack won the Favorite Soundtrack award. Yola is a member of The Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective, and to celebrate Yola’s impact and influence on music, her guitar was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Right Here, Right Now exhibit. Yola is currently working on a R&B/Soul project that will surely add another gem to her genre-fluid catalog. iamyola.com

Girl Named Tom
Three siblings unlock one harmony to unite the world as Girl Named Tom. The trio—Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb Liechty—notably made history as “the only group to ever win NBC’s The Voice.” Along the way, they’ve impressively generated over 25 million of streams across chart-rattling covers such as “River,” “The Chain,” and “Dust in the Wind.” They gained further traction with the independent release of Another World EP. Inking a deal with Republic Records, they served up their debut holiday EP, One More Christmas, which reached No. 1 on the iTunes Charts and embarked on a massive arena tour supporting Pentatonix for “A Christmas Spectacular.” Since 2022 the group has been living life on the road performing over 200 shows to date. The sibling trio has captivated millions on television, appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, singing for the Indy500, and returning for a performance on The Voice Finale a year after their win. Their inimitable harmony will only continue to resound louder with the 2023 release of the single “What A View” and with new music on the way in 2024. girlnamedtom.com
