Everybody Needs Some Guidance!

Wednesday night’s UnderDogs Across Borders benefit concert brought an array of memorable performances to the stage from the start, and all the way to the finish.

Closing out the night? Da’ Healerz, who ended their set by sharing some new music they’ve been working on. “Guidance” — in collaboration with Guidance Whiskey — made its live debut with us on Wednesday night and got the whole room moving, ending UnderDogs Across Borders Vol. 2 with a bang!

Watch it below! And, while you wait for our next UnderDogs Across Borders lineup to drop, remember that you can support a new, creator-driven music industry anytime!

Step Into the Heal Talk Experience

Want an inside look at The Heal Talk Experience before you attend with us on Thursday, May 15?

Our debut Heal Talk Experience took place in February at NECAT (120 White Bridge Pike, Nashville). This was a powerful night of music, vulnerability, and transformation — a true celebration of healing through art and community.

The evening opened with the radiant Nikki Ray, who shared her personal healing journey and led us into deep relaxation with a beautiful sound bath. Psychic Marita guided the room with intuitive wisdom and a live reading, helping us open our hearts and minds. Da’ Healerz brought the soul with three original performances, each followed by a heartfelt conversation with the audience about the real-life stories and healing behind the lyrics. They were joined by the talented J Nix on bass and Urri Thames on drums.

To close, we asked the audience reflective questions about their own healing journeys — sparking deep thought and connection.

This is more than a show — it’s a movement. Join the next Heal Talk Experience in Nashville on May 15!

For the Love of Community — and Hip Hop

Big congratulations are in order for our community partners at Ether Nashville for the success of the 2023 Citywide Cypher tournament, which concluded with the Citywide Cypher Finals on Sept. 24 at The Pyramid Nashville.

The tournament — held at select locations throughout Middle Tennessee — was a summer-long celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop. Preliminary rounds were held throughout July and August, with eight finalists (plus a special round of Nashville hip hop legends) invited to compete for top honors at The Pyramid.

Murfreesboro-based rapper Izzy Rage took home top male emcee honors, while Nashville’s own Yonna Jones was named top female emcee. Throughout the evening, members of the Greater Nashville hip hop community presented the true artistry, sonic diversity, and cultural impact of the hip hop genre, while supporting Ether’s “Heal Hop” movement and overall mission to “empower leaders of the hip hop community with the tools they need to consistently deliver transformative work.”

Check out a few photos from the event below. Congrats to the Ether team on making an impact!
