These events are
three weeks apart and seating is by reservation only. The smaller audience, exciting up-close-andpersonal live music, raw interviews with top artists across various media outlets, along with an electric After Party make Trinity Music City the place to be on select Friday nights. On August 5 th, musical guests David and Amanda Lessing from Cincinnati, Ohio blessed those in the audience and the live viewers with their songs, Father, Forgive Me, Your Name, Love is Here, and What Are You Waiting For throughout the evening. Pastor Travis Brown (Lead Pastor, C3 Church Nashville) brought a word to the young adults in attendance that challenged them in their walk with Christ. Wes Howard (Cross Point Church) and Savannah Lopez hosted the night. They interviewed author Annie Downs and actor John Major Davis. The After Party brought the house down with Natalie Villa singing Running and Laugh Out Loud, and North 11 singing, Be My Kelly, Get Away, and Better Off.
