The Day the Music Stopped 2024

Nashville's indie music venues vs. Live Nation.

Directed by Patrick Sheehan

Examines the decade-long struggle of independent music venues and the creative class they support against developers and concert promoter Live Nation. Taking place in Nashville, Tennessee, dubbed “Music City USA”, the story is depicted through the lens of Exit/In, one of the nation’s most historic independent venues. The club’s owner/operator Chris Cobb, the musicians who perform there, and political allies work together to save the club from imminent corporate takeover.
