Lifting Lives®
Music Camp is in session this week in Nashville, Tenn. with campers from around
the country participating in a week of activities and excursions around Music
City. The residential camp has the dual purpose of studying Williams
syndrome while providing music enrichment through performance and
education.
Renowned songwriter/producer Ross Copperman and
artist Eric Paslay
lead campers in a songwriting session, creating “Happy Together,” an original
song based on campers’ personal experiences and inspirations.
Country duo Maddie & Tae dropped
by the famous Wildhorse Saloon to spend time with the campers while they shared
stories from the first day of camp and participated in a line dancing session.
The camp is a partnership
between ACM Lifting Lives and Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in
Developmental Disabilities. For more information on ACM Lifting Lives, please
