SUMMARY:UnderDogs Across Borders Benefit Concert (Virtual/In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:2025 has been a breakthrough year so far for the entire Underground Music Collective community — and we’re here to make sure the magic lasts all year long (and beyond)! \nThat’s why we’re launching a new benefit concert series in support of our UnderDogs Across Borders campaign\, with the first event — a hybrid in-person and virtual concert emanating from Nashville — taking place Wednesday\, July 9 from 7-9 p.m. CT. \nWe’re taking you on a multi-genre thrill ride featuring four Nashville-based artists — including 2025 NEXT2RISE artist Nicolas Soul\, alt-pop songwriter Virtues\, R&B/soul singer and rapper Kfhox\, and hip hop artist Southside MAB. Joining them on the lineup — all the way from the Lehigh Valley Underground in Pennsylvania — will be rockers Powder Valley Bang (who have been gaining some serious steam up there lately). \nNeed a refresher on UnderDogs Across Borders? Through this capital campaign\, we aim to open the gateway to even greater collaboration. Your support bolsters UMC’s presence at major conferences and festivals in North America and Europe\, while helping us build a stronger\, more sustainable music industry that is ripe with fresh opportunities. \nOur groundbreaking first half of 2025 featured major conference appearances\, media opportunities\, and the official launch of our new UnderDogs virtual community. This has established Underground Music Collective as an international super-connector for independent musicians\, creative professionals\, and notable brands. \nHelp us continue to build toward an incredible future where Creators Have the Power. Make your donation and RSVP here\, and join us in Nashville or virtually (from anywhere!) on Wednesday\, July 9! \nLooking for an additional way to support UnderDogs Across Borders? Check out our GoFundMe campaign\, or become an UnderDog today!
