Members of the Nashville music industry gathered at The Eighth Room on Monday night (Feb. 19) to celebrate Nashville Briefing‘s annual 30 Under 30 List. People in attendance included Judah & The Lion’s Judah Akers, Chase Matthew, Ian Munsick, Spotify’s Jackie Augustus, Spotify’s Claire Heinichen, CAA’s Blake McDaniel, The Neal Agency’s Ryan Beuschel, songwriter Jordan Dozzi, WME’s Carlile Willett, Monument Records’ Joel Beaver, Sony Music Nashville’s Parker Stacey and many others.

“It’s crazy to think about what has come from this annual list and event” said Nashville Briefing Founder Zak Kuhn. “Our first year, we had someone raise money for their startup from a VC they met at our party. Last year, someone met their publisher at this party. I can’t wait to hear about who met who this time around. Four years in, being included on our 30 UNDER 30 list has become like a Nashville secret handshake. We’ve built a mega community of honorees that not only gather once a year to party in person, but are in touch year round to continue supporting each other’s careers.”

On Feb. 6, Loveless Café hosted “Melodies For Minds,” an event that raised over $268,000 for The Refuge Center for Counseling and the Change Your Brain Foundation. Country star Walker Hayes headlined the event, while other notable attendees included Adam Woolard, Ben Zobrist, Braunwyn Windham-Burke,  David Arquette, Christina Arquette, Cole and Savannah LaBrant, Kristin Cavallari, Jed Wyatt, Lacey Hester, Noah Hester, Savannah Chrisley and more.

“‘Melodies For Minds’ was an undeniable success and we are so excited for the ripple effect it will have on our community as the word about mental health and brain health continues to spread outwards. Breaking the stigma around mental health and acknowledging the need to ‘not be okay’ is the first and hardest step to take towards healing, but it is one we get to take together as a community,” shares Amy Alexander, Founder of The Refuge Center.
