Taking Up Space Through Music and Activism
Today on City Cast Nashville, host Grace Fuisz sits down with songwriter and producer Alex Wong. They’re talking about taking up space, authenticity, and the connection he’s found between cooking and music. Alex is one of the artists who’ll be playing our Nashville In Stereo event at the new Tecovas store in the Green Hills Mall from 5-8 p.m. on Aug. 22nd — come out and join us!
This is the third of five episodes we'll be doing this month about the music community in Nashville. And stick around for our new segment, A Mile In Their Boots: We’ll be walking through a day in the life of Nicole Valentine, the executive director of Napier Kitchen Table, to talk about her work with the families in her neighborhood.
Today's special segment, and our Nashville in Stereo series, are presented by our exclusive launch sponsor, Tecovas. Tecovas knows more than handmade boots and fine Western wear — they’ve got an ear for great music, too.
