SUMMARY:NashLive! Sonic Kaleidoscope ft. Shawney Rainne\, Fiona Maura\, and Sarah Manzo
DESCRIPTION:NashLive! is back for the summer\, ready to turn up the heat with a multi-faceted live music experience you’ll be talking about for the rest of 2024 — and beyond. \nOn Saturday\, July 20\, come to Helping Our Music Evolve (615 Main St.\, Suite G1\, Nashville) to experience the NashLive! Sonic Kaleidoscope. On this night\, rising stars in Music City’s pop\, R&B\, and hip hop communities will come together to present vivid soundscapes and captivating performances. \nPerformers include… \nShawney Rainne: Originally from the country music genre\, she has evolved her sound into soulful pop infused with depth and emotion. Her debut track “Liar” aired on MTV’s Siesta Key in 2020\, showcasing her talents to a broader audience. \nShe founded my Rainne Entertainment\, a platform where she channels her passions into dynamic storytelling through music and artistic flair. \nHer love for fashion shines through her brand\, Alter Ego. She also expresses her creativity through movement\, dance\, and curating unique experiences\, including one-of-a-kind events\, directing music videos\, and developing innovative performance productions. \nCentral to Shawney’s work is empowering self-acceptance and expression. Through vulnerable songwriting\, she explores themes of healing\, love\, spirituality\, and unlocking one’s potential. Shawney also embraces alter egos that highlight different aspects of her identity. Her goal is to inspire others to trust themselves\, embrace failure\, and discover their most authentic selves through radical self-acceptance. \n\nFiona Maura is a dream pop songstress originally from the space coast of Florida\, currently residing\, writing\, and performing in Nashville\, TN. Her ethereal sound fuses soulful folk melodies\, dreamy textures\, and spiritual lyricism. As seen on American Idol\, Fiona is a certified sound healer and weaves her sound bowls and healing instruments through her live shows and production. She was runner up for Best Singer-Songwriter in Nashville Scene’s Best of Nashville 2022\, and performed at First Horizon Park as part of Nashville Scene’s Best of Nashville Festival in 2023. \n\nSarah Manzo: Nashville-based artist\, Sarah Manzo\, is an unstoppable Jersey girl who is determined to leave her mark on music. At 24 years old\, she has worked with Grammy-nominated musicians and has performed all over the country. Manzo’s debut album\, “Brain on Fire\,” is a cross-section of indie\, soul\, pop\, and musical theatre. Her songs are meant to confront her past while acting as a sounding board for those around her. Manzo found a way to heal through songwriting by telling stories that were authentic to her about struggles with mental health\, growing pains\, and feeling like an outcast. “I want to be a big sister to those listening and encourage others to embrace their individuality.” With the vulnerability of Amy Winehouse\, the lyrical specificity of Taylor Swift\, and the vocal stylings of Ariana Grande\, Manzo is ready to share her coming-of-age story with the world. \n\n\nTickets are now on sale — and they come in two different flavors! \n\nBasic Babe ($15): Ready to experience an epic night? Grab a general admission ticket and you’re good to go!\nParty Like a Rock Star ($45): General Admission PLUS unlimited access to our specialty cocktail bar! You read that right! An extra 30 bucks gets you access to the open bar! You won’t find a deal like this anywhere else in Nashville.\n\nGET YOURS HERE!

SUMMARY:SXSW Book Signing: '60+ Lessons from the Creative Journey'
DESCRIPTION:I’ve learned countless lessons during my decade-plus creative journey. Some were common sense\, “live-and-learn” type experiences\, while others came as a direct result of thinking I had a good idea… and falling flat on my face. \nOne night\, I opened a blank document\, and I began to compile a list of the most important ones\, based on the experiences that forged me into a better creative professional. Before I knew it\, I had few dozen… and I added about a dozen more\, for good measure! \nThese 60+ Lessons from the Creative Journey come loaded with anecdotes — whether painful\, inspiring\, and/or hilarious — from 11+ years building a multimedia and educational platform for independent musicians. The lessons contained within are independent of industry; they apply to anybody with the courage to step out and “build the thing” — no matter what your “thing” is!
