Our slogan is based on a song by Artist Member #0001, Kenny Foster. Our mission is to ‘find the others’ - meaning find other patrons so that together we are able to provide meaningful support to independent artists.

When COVID and the Nashville tornados shut down live music venues, we hosted house concerts for independent artists. Since then, we have funded studio sessions, writers retreats, EP/Album releases, videos, artist expenses and more.

Thanks to our patrons, our NBS alums have gone from our basement to:

• Grand Ole Opry debuts

• # 1 hit records

• TV and radio debuts

• CMA nominations and awards

• and more

In 2024 we expanded our patrons to Nashville music venues, industry advisors and ‘others’.

VIP Patrons: $1,000 donation. Patron benefits plus invitations to our house concerts, show tickets, backstage passes, artist meet & greets, annual VIP party and other VIP meetings. VIPs can direct donations to an artist and have input on artists we support. Annual renewal for VIP Patrons is $1,000 (or as determined based on other contributions). Our goal is 2 VIP patrons for every artist member (20 VIPs, helps us support 10 artists). Our VIP Patrons include private individuals and industry representatives.

Patrons: $100 donation. This can be a general donation or an artist tip. Patrons get an NBS shirt or swag and are added to our mailing list. No annual cost. Once you are a patron all we ask is that you support NBS artists and shows. You can remove yourself as a Patron by unsubscribing to our email.
