RASCAL FLATTS PERFORMS ALONGSIDE
ACM®
LIFTING LIVES® MUSIC CAMPERS IN CAMP FINALE
AT THE
GRAND OLE OPRY
Encino, CA (June 29, 2016) –
ACM®
Lifting Lives®
Music Camp was in session throughout the past week in Nashville, Tenn. with
campers from around the country participating in activities and excursions
around Music City, culminating last night in a touching performance at the
Grand Ole Opry with Rascal
Flatts, singing their original song “Happy Together,” which
they wrote just days ago with Eric
Paslay and Ross
Copperman.
The residential camp has the
dual purpose of studying Williams syndrome while providing the 30 campers with
music enrichment through performance and education. In addition to the
songwriting session that kicked off Camp last week, campers enjoyed a trip to
the Seacrest Studios with RaeLynn,
a Wildhorse Saloon meet and greet with Maddie
& Tae, karaoke night at Winner’s Bar & Grill with Montgomery Gentry, a
trip to the Bluebird Cafe with Maren
Morris, a Q&A with Carrie
Underwood and a recording studio session with producer Ross Copperman at
Belmont University’s Ocean Way Nashville Studios.
The camp is a partnership
between ACM Lifting Lives and Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in
Developmental Disabilities.
