The show must go on! Though many beloved fundraisers and traditions were canceled in the fall due to COVID-19 precautions, nothing can stop Music Night 2021.
For more than 20 years, Music Night has featured performances by some of Nashville’s finest musicians, showcasing the wide range of talent of USN parents, alumni, and friends. This tradition continues in 2021 with a reimagined, virtual night of talented artistry and good tunes. Mark your calendars now; Music Night 2021 is on for Saturday, February 20 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Join hosts Director Vince Durnan, Steve Gorman, and Garth Fundis as they reminisce about the history of Music Night and present very special performances by several of the annual event’s incredibly talented, previous headliners. These Music Night all-stars include Alison Brown and Garry West, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Edgar Meyer, Gabe Dixon '96, Suzy Bogguss, Victor Wooten, and William Tyler '98.
You can enjoy this star-studded event from your home. Log onto Zoom to watch these incredibly special performances and chat with others. Attendees will not see one another, so sweatpants, off-key singing, and awkward dance moves are encouraged. Plus, stay tuned for information regarding delicious takeout dinner suggestions from several of your favorite local restaurants.
