615 Indie Live

This event has passed.

615 Indie Live was Nashville’s night for independent music. It brought the spotlight to the city’s local venues, showcasing the artists who shape our sound, and gathered the fans who keep the music alive. Born from a collaboration between MVAN and Visit Music City, the event has grown into a community-driven stage where independent music takes the lead. On February 7, 2026, 615 Indie Live returned to turn up the volume once again.
