The weekly series will provide interviews and music from the national music scene along with talent on the local level as well. 

“We’ll have live performances from student artists in the local community, said Lee Miller of Local Color Productions. We’ll also have painters and poets to have a variety show motif but informative,” developer Lee Miller explained.

Miller noted the goal of Local Color is to help MTSU students establish contacts in their respective field.

“We want to shine a spotlight on the local artists and students and stress the importance of making business contacts in Nashville. Most are willing to help when asked.”

To celebrate the beginning of the show, a concert called “January Jam” will take place at 6 p.m. Jan. 22
at Cannery Ballroom in Nashville. It will feature 10 bands consisting of EverGreen, Stanley Adkins, The Corbitt Brothers Greg Humpreys and Molly Kummerle’s Paper Tiger among others.

Footage from the concert will premiere on the first installment of Local Color.

The event will feature a canned food drive and tickets are $10 with a food donation or $15 at the door and can be purchased via www.mercylounge.com or to pre-order tickets, Miller can be contacted at localcolorcommunity@gmail.com.
