The Birthplace of Country Music Alliance is $1 million away from breaking ground on the Birthplace of Country Music Cultural Heritage Center. Once completed, the Center will be a Smithsonian Institution affiliate, performance hall and education space that will pump $45 million into the region over the first five years it is open. The plan is to start construction in 2013.
Friends of 1927 are 1,927 people giving $520 to raise $1 million for the Birthplace of Country Music Cultural Heritage Center. A large plaque featuring the names of these founding Friends will adorn the halls of the center once it is built. The music community in the Bristol area deserves the honor of being among them.
As it sometimes goes with “starving artists”, verbal support is often easier than the financial part. So the BCMA is helping them raise the money to become an Artist for 1927 by using their gigs as mini-fundraisers so their fans can give them that gift.
The fundraisers will continue through May. Any artist who wishes to host a fundraiser should contact Charlene Baker at 423-573-4898.
