Why Music on The Move Studios? A Chat with Co-Founders Erin McLendon & Caitie Thompson

Posted on by Leave a comment

The idea behind Music on The Move Studios all started because I saw a need to showcase the independent female artists outside of a writer’s round, outside of Nashville’s infamous Lower Broad, and create an all-new experience for the music lover in town. Thus, Women on Fire was born in January of 2019. Unfortunately, that title was already trademarked; so, when it came time to rebrand, I took the name of the television show (that had also been temporarily shut down due to COVID, stay tuned for more on that!) and made it our entire brand. 

By now, you’ve already learned what Music on The Move Studios is all about. Now, it’s time to learn why it was created. For this, I chatted with my co-founder, Caitie Thompson.
