THE END THANKS YOU!
Bruce has spent his life uplifting creatives and providing a platform for growth in Nashville’s music industry. Over The End’s past 27 years, Bruce has done everything in his power to keep local music alive. The End has always been where the music begins. It is very clear, especially after yesterday, that this hard work has not gone unnoticed. We are overwhelmed by the level of support our community has shown us. We were in major trouble just yesterday, but after only 4 hours, our GoFundMe reached the goal of $25,000. It was truly unreal to see. We extend our sincere gratitude to those who donated, as well as to those who shared the link, post, and story. We are blown away by our community’s call to action and the recognition of The End’s legacy. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Your donations allow us to stay open and facilitate required improvements for the venue. We cannot thank you enough.
Additionally, we are seeing lots of messages about reopening donation acceptance. Instead of further donations, we encourage you to attend local shows. Buy tickets, drinks, merch, even water. It may seem like a small purchase, but everything counts at these independent venues. We aim to continue providing a stage for budding creatives. This is not about the money, but rather Bruce’s call to support the music industry and our call to help him. So shop local, support indie, and come out to shows! We have so much more we want to share. Thank you so much for the love and support. We look forward to more time with you, Nashville.
Thank you a million times,
Bruce, Alyson, GG, & The End Family
