Bluebird Benefit Review

We wanted to take a moment to review the recent MMH benefit concert held at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe. If you have a project that you've recently completed, we'd love for you to share your review with us as well! This helps us all motivate and cheer each other on! And who knows, it just might be what someone needs to hear to spark that next creative idea!




Project leader: Amy Rathburg


Type of local project: Benefit concert for Monroe Harding


Time Commitment: sending out invites, advertising on Facebook & Twitter, making & printing literature, 2 hour show


Cost of event: $25 for printing


Success of event: Sold out in 3 hours, raised $404.07 in two hours from donations only


Participation: AWMG Entertainment staff, 4 songwriters, audience


Unique elements: Four talented Nashville songwriters performed in the round at Bluebird Cafe, raised awareness in the music community


Is this an event that could easily be replicated? Yes, use your local venues and local artists


Amy's thoughts: Everything went great at the Bluebird benefit for MMH. Jimmy called in during the show and talked via speakerphone, over the mic, to the audience. The audience was very excited to hear him talk about the walk. During the show, the boys went up and talked to the audience about Monroe Harding and about Jimmy's walk. Jimmy also talked to 2 boys from Monroe Harding via cell after the show. These two boys, from Monroe Harding, came in all tough and left with huge smiles. It was a great thing to see. We raised $404.07 in two hours!
