On March 20, top names in Country and Americana music joined forces in Nashville to perform in the name of equality and inclusion. More than 15 major music artists put on a show to uplift the LGBTQ+ community and highlight the injustices Republicans seek to set into law targeting queer and transgender people.
Allison Russell, Mya Byrne, and Brothers Osborne joined Sheryl Crow, Hozier, Jason Isbell, Maren Morris, and more for a star-studded show, Love Rising: Let Freedom Sing (and Dance) A Celebration of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness at Bridgestone Arena.
The concert came to be through an initiative that began when the Tennessee Pride Chamber organized a letter signed by more than 230 businesses in Tennessee asking Republican Gov. Bill Lee to veto what was known as the drag felony bill.
Lee signed the bill into law as well as another that bans gender-affirming care for trans youth.
Warner Music has been a supporter of the Tennessee Pride Chamber. A board member who works at Warner Music then worked to get the industry to support the veto. Since then, there has been an intense desire among many artists and representation companies to provide more support to the LGBTQ+ community, including Allison Russell and her management team, Live Nation, and Brandi Carlisle and her Looking Out Foundation.
Brian Rosman the president of the organization suggests that in addition to the Tennessee Pride Chamber, those who wish to get involved more should contact the Tennessee Equality Project, Tennessee Pride Chamber Foundation, and Inclusion Tennessee.
