The Peace Tour

Many forms of music originated as a form of expression
 meant to empower and educate its listeners. As the music culture evolved and diversified it took various paths, some positive and some negative, and many people today believe the core foundation of positive music no longer exists. However, like most forms of art, the music genre is steadily making a comeback to its original roots of positive expression. By bringing regions together to showcase their wealth of cultures through musical concerts, dance performances as well as arts and crafts exhibits, The Peace Tour provides an avenue to celebrate the true essence of music.

Created as a daylong festival, The Peace Tour was founded to extend positivity through multiple platforms to reach the community, primarily focusing on uplifting our youth. With our youth relying heavily on social media and other technology mediums, it becomes undeniably difficult to navigate through this already challenging period of life. As our youth face negative images via the media, music, and surrounding communities, it becomes our responsibility to give them ownership within their communities by creating opportunities for them to become involved in. The Peace Tour contributes to the local youth and families by providing internship, mentorship, and other opportunities for self-expression throughout the festival. In addition, The Peace Tour will proudly donate a percentage of the proceeds to not only local schools, but also organizations designed to uplift our youth such as Pretty Intelligent, NFL YET, The Boys and Girls Club and Upward Bound.

The Peace Tour is not only a day filled with music, art and fashion, but also a unique opportunity to celebrate the spirit of community. The Peace Tour will have something for everyone with areas such as "What's Goin' On", inspired by Marvin Gaye's powerful album which will feature artwork and photography from students and artists depicting life through their eyes. This year’s production is set to arrive in Nashville on June 29^th at Shelby Park and will feature nationally recorded artists, as well as local, independent performers that will illustrate the true essence of music of all genres.
