ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp is in session this week in Nashville, Tenn. with campers from around the country participating in a week of activities and excursions around Music City. The residential camp has the dual purpose of studying Williams syndrome while providing music enrichment through performance and education. Campers were treated to a special performance at Nashville’s famous Bluebird Café on Thursday (June 26) with Columbia Nashville singer-songwriter Casey James.
