There’s something truly special about a group of artists you love getting together to support a good cause. In March, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Lydia Luce put together an online benefit show to raise money for the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund. One year prior, Luce’s home was one of many in Nashville that suffered heavy damage in the tornado — what felt like for many Nashvillians the kickoff to a long stream of unprecedented garbage times. Luce brought to the virtual stage two other dynamite singer-songwriters from Nashville, Becca Mancari and Kyshona, and members of the ensemble Luce founded called Lockeland Strings, for a delightful 30-minute showing of love for their community — which concludes with a performance of "Rotation," a piece composed by local-music MVP and Lockeland Strings collaborator Larissa Maestro.
