Each year, the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival donates proceeds from one of the performances to an area charity. This time, it's The Store near Belmont University.

The Store
Before WeGo eliminated its downtown circulator buses as part of budget cuts, this valuable service laid bare a frustrating disparity surrounding food insecurity in Nashville. If you were the owner of a $400,000 condo in the Gulch, a free shuttle would stop at your front door a few times an hour, offering to whisk you to the Nashville Farmers’ Market, where you could shop for your organic produce, grass-fed meats and artisanal salsas. But a resident of the nearby public housing projects in Edgehill would have to take four different buses and spend more than an hour to make the same round trip to the market, or really almost anywhere, to buy healthy food.
