NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A song written and produced together by Nashville students and teachers has now made its way to Music Row.
“Every Student Known” is available for listening and viewing on streaming services, YouTube and the Metro Nashville Public Schools website.
This effort came together from the performing arts director Franklin Willis, who asked students across Nashville to contribute.
The district then convened a four-day songwriting summit this summer. The students visited Capitol Christian Music Group and recorded at Universal Music Group Nashville’s studios in Berry Hill.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
