ASCAP teamed with the Bluebird Cafe for Napa at The Bluebird Cafe on April 11. Sponsored by ASCAP, the event benefitted Notes for Education, which supports music education programs in both the Nashville and Napa Valley communities.

Jeff Gargiulo, owner of Gargiulo Vineyards, and David Duncan, president and CEO of Silver Oak, closed the show with their band The Silverado Pickups, and Lily Ophelia, a student in the songwriting class at Nashville School of the Arts (NSA), opened the show.
Silent auction items raised over $80,000 and included hand-written lyrics of Garth Brooks’ “The Dance” and “Unanswered Prayers,” and Pearce’s “Every Little Thing,” VIP tickets to Notes for Education’s Bluebird Cafe event in Napa, and a Napa getaway.
