On July 13, many behind-the-scenes workers in Nashville’s music industry were aided by the humanitarian initiative Musically Fed.
At Soundcheck Nashville, more than 140 families were given meals, fresh produce, dry goods, bottled water and other food products, courtesy of Minneapolis’s Loaves & Fishes, via two semis loaded with supplies.
Production director Jake Berry, with Just a Bunch of Roadies co-founders Charlie Hernandez and Lori Tierney, powered the Scottsdale-based Musically Fed’s effort to feed live event workers and their families in Music City. Rhino Staging, Ben Jumper of Soundcheck Nashville, Kris O’Connor of Dega Catering and dozens of others answered Musically Fed’s call to distribute meals and groceries to local gig workers.
