615 Indie Live to Offer Transportation and Parking Options

NASHVILLE – Ticketholders for the 615 Indie Live music festival will have access to convenient transportation options, including a free shuttle service and discounted parking at select locations. Gray Line of Tennessee will offer free trolley shuttles at five participating venues, and Metropolis will discount parking to half price at select parking facilities.

615 Indie Live celebrates Nashville’s independent music scene by supporting independent music venues and local artists. The one-night festival will showcase more than 60 local artists from diverse music genres across 15 independent venues on February 7 in Music City. Festival tickets are on sale at visitmusiccity.com/615indielive and 615indie.live.

“We are pleased to support this unique festival, because it plays such an important role in our community. By providing complimentary trolley service, we are making it easier and safer for fans to experience more music, more venues, and more of the local talent that defines Music City,” said Chuck Abbott, President and CEO of Gray Line Tennessee.

Two Gray Line trolleys will circulate continuously between Acme Feed & Seed, 3rd & Lindsley, Cannery Hall, Rudy’s Jazz Room and The Basement on a constant loop beginning at 5 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. originating at Acme. The final trolley departure will take place at 10 p.m. Festival ticketholders may ride at no cost with a valid wristband.

Shuttles will depart from participating venues approximately every 10 minutes throughout the evening.

Metropolis will provide ticketholders a 50% discount on parking at 25 lots in close proximity to 615 Indie Live venues. The list of participating lots is available at metropolis.io/parkandplay, and ticketholders will be sent a QR code to access the discount prior to the event. Metropolis is offering the discount as an extension of their Park & Play program that provides musicians playing independent venues free parking year-round.

“We’re excited to support 615 Indie Live because it’s a great way to celebrate the music and creativity that makes Nashville so special,” said Alex Curtis, Metropolis’ Senior Manager for Gov’t & Community Relations. “We’ve long supported local musicians because they are the lifeblood of the city and we’re excited to help locals hear live music more affordably.”

Participating artists represent a diverse mix of genres and include established artists and up-and- coming talent, including indie rock singer Genevieve Heyward, who recently got a golden ticket on American Idol.

The complete 615 Indie Live event schedule is now available on the official event app for iPhone and Android. The app will allow ticket holders to plan their own custom schedule of shows on February 7 from 12 p.m. to 3 a.m. across the 15 participating independent venues. It also features bios and links for the 60+ participating artists.

Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit MVAN and its mission to advocate for Nashville’s independent venues, promoters, and festivals, which also includes the organization’s Emergency Relief Fund. Additionally, the festival will donate $2 per ticket this year to WNXP, to help raise money for the nonprofit radio station, which lost its federal funding last year.

615 Indie Live is produced by the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp in partnership with Music Venue Alliance Nashville. Event passes are discounted to $20, including all taxes and fees. These passes grant entry to all participating venues. The event on February 7 will run from noon to 3 a.m. Special group discount tickets are available with a minimum purchase of 10. The $150 group bundle includes 10 tickets discounted from $20 to $15 each. Purchase here and use the discount code: NCVC.
