About The Day the Music Stopped
Synopsis
“The Day the Music Stopped” is a feature-length documentary film examining the decade-long struggle of independent music venues and the creative class they support against developers and concert promoter Live Nation. Taking place in Nashville, Tennessee, dubbed “Music City USA”, our story is depicted through the lens of Exit/In, one of the nation’s most historic independent music venues. We follow the club’s owner/operator Chris Cobb, the musicians who perform there and political allies as they work together to save the club from imminent corporate takeover.
