More and more young adults are wanting to be part of
our JUCE Live Nashville events! These events are
WPGD-TV Hendersonville/Nashville
three weeks apart and
seating is by reservation
only. The smaller audience,
exciting up-close-and-
personal 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
5th, 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.”

What a wonderful night of music! Casting Crowns
blessed a filled auditorium with music from their latest
album, The Very Next Thing. We also enjoyed bonus
music from Natalie West, her husband Bernie Herms,
and Matthew West. Casting Crowns spent the earlier
part of the day doing media interviews and voice overs
in the TMC Recording Studio, then later that night,
thrilled the audience with “One Step Away,” “The Very
Next Thing,” “Praise You In This Storm,” “Oh My Soul,”
“The Well,” and “What If I Gave Everything.”

We had the pleasure of working with
Grammy Award winning musician John
Berry in our TMC recording studio, who
commented on how much he liked the
studio. This was actually the first time
John’s manager was here, and he was
very impressed with the facility. He said that he will highly
recommend our studio to all of his colleagues.
