Vote for your favorites, and the pizzeria with more votes moves on. Simple as that. We’ll go until we have a champion, which will be announced in our Monday, March 25 newsletter. You will be able to voteonce per round.

🎶 To the tune of a new survey
Local music community, the Greater Nashville Music Census wants to hear from you

If you’re involved in the local music scene — professionally, part-time, or even on a volunteer basis — the Greater Nashville Music Census wants to hear from you.
The census, which launched on Friday, is a grassroots initiative led by 10 organizations with support from 70+ community partners. Its goal is to understand the current needs of the Nashville music community.
Now that we’ve covered the “what” — let’s look at the who, when, where, and why behind the Greater Nashville Music Census.
Who: Residents contributing any type of music-related work, whether that’s writing chart-topping hits, strumming guitars in Nashville bars, pursuing a music degree, volunteering at a nonprofit… the list goes on.
When: The survey is open for the first three weeks in March and takes up to ~20 minutes to complete. Expect the results to be shared in early summer.
Where: To participate, you must be 18 years or older and live in Davidson or one of these 13 surrounding counties.
Why: The coalition hopes the results will “help the city and community make better informed, data-driven decisions to support [Nashville’s] music ecosystem moving forward.”
