What Our Community Is Saying
-
Timbre
“Owning a home in Nashville has been a life changer for me. I own 2 full size harps, a piano, and tons of gear, and before owning a home, I moved 6 times in 9 years because of my rental homes getting sold out from under me. Moving my instruments and gear over and over again was a nightmare. I could never really get settled, and finding a place where I could both live and work out of was almost impossible.“

“As an indie artist, it’s important to live in a city that supports a thriving musical community. We are grateful for the many opportunities to learn, grow, and be inspired.”
-
Robbie Stilwell
“On a sadder note [being a creative in Nashville] also means being a part of the group that gives Nashville the identity it's known for, while simultaneously being closer and closer to being unable to afford to live here."
