Our Listening Room Series Begins Wednesday, March 6!
Help us serve veterans by immersing yourself in a soul-stirring experience at The Listening Room in Nashville, TN as we present a special songwriters round series. In this unique showcase, the talented songwriters of Operation Song will gather to share their time, passion, and the incredible songs crafted in collaboration with veterans. As the stage comes alive with melodies that echo the experiences of our nation's heroes, we invite you to join us for an evening of musical storytelling.
“Our mission is to serve veterans and their families by helping them tell their stories through song,” says Jon Foti, CEO of Operation Song. “The process is extremely powerful and empowers them to share and document their experiences. Help us in our mission by celebrating the stories and songs of veterans in our community. All proceeds go towards helping us serve more veterans.”
This extraordinary event is not just a celebration of artistic talent; it's a heartfelt effort to raise funds for Operation Song's noble cause of supporting veterans through the healing power of song. Your attendance ensures that the harmony of gratitude continues to resonate, fostering therapeutic expression and honoring the resilience of those who have served our country. Come, be a part of this musical journey, and contribute to a cause that turns stories into songs, making a lasting impact on the lives of our heroes.
IT ALL STARTS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6
We kick off our Listening Room Series with the first of four writers rounds we will be hosting. Three of our songwriters — Pete Sallis, Jamie Floyd and AJ Kross — will share some of their favorites songs they have written with Operation Song participants. Tickets are only $20.
The Listening Room started in 2006 with a simple idea: There’s nothing like hearing a great song performed live. Not as background music, not as something you shout to hear yourself over, but as the main attraction. With Music City’s best-sounding venue as the foundation, founder Chris Blair set out to pair it with a food and drink menu centered around the freshest local ingredients. The result? A one-of-a-kind venue with uniquely Nashville flavor. Visit The Listening Room Café at 618 4th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37210 — in the vibrant SoBro neighborhood!
