Freedom Sings will be part of the lineup for Freedom Fest.
Lt. Colonel Nate Brookshire (R) and the Commander of American Legion Post 45, John Abel, provided information about the effort. Brookshire said Freedom Sings is based in Chattanooga, Tennessee and uses Nashville songwriters that partner with veterans and their families. Brookshire noted, "They walk them ( participants ) through the process of telling their stories." They end up with a published song.
Three participants will create a song and perform it to help kick off Freedom Fest.
To sign up go the Freedom Fest website to a Freedom Sings location.You'll be asked a series of questions and whether you can commit to participating in a weekly zoom call. Applicants will be reduced down to 10 who will cut songs for a Freedom Sings catalogue. Later, three will be selected to perform on July 1.
This is a new event for Freedom Fest.
