If you’ve been following Cause A Scene for any period of time, you know that today is a monumentally huge day in our history as it marks our very first steps outside of our beloved hometown of Nashville. (And if you’re brand new to Cause A Scene, this short video will get you caught up on what we’re all about really fast.) It’s a step that feels equal parts exhilarating and terrifying, a risk that we cannot help but take and trust that people’s desire for community and discovery will help carry this movement outside our comfortable surroundings into the rest of the world one city and one show at a time.

Over the course of our first four years, we’ve miraculously grown from our humble beginnings in a cozy living room in a nearby suburb to hosting nearly 200 shows featuring around 700 artists in pop-up locations all over the Music City map. Some days, like today, this all feels like a dream that we never want to wake up from. If we’re being completely honest with you, just about every day over the course of the last month has felt like a dream as people from all over the country have been so gracious toward us, opening up incredible locations to host us on this inaugural coast to coast run.

You might be wondering right now “Why are they doing all of this?” or “Where are they going?” and the answers would be varied but all follow a similar refrain: Because we believe something powerful happens at the intersection of music and community, where people are able to gather together to discover something really beautiful and be drawn closer through a beautiful, shared experience of discovery. And where are we going? Well, for now 19 cities scattered throughout the Midwest and East Coast (and then out West in August), but truthfully, we hope this is the start of Cause A Scene spreading throughout the country in cities small and large in any rooms that wish to invite gorgeous music and wonderful people into something truly unique and life-giving.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then this image of The Lone Bellow’s Zach Williams performing at a Cause A Scene performance in 2014 perfectly captures everything we’re feeling right now. Earlier today, Business Insider included us in their list of the “Top 50 Coolest New Business in America”, and we could not be more honored and excited.

As 2015 comes to a close and we gear up for our biggest year ever in 2016, we are so thankful for everyone who has been a part of the first (almost) four years of this movement. To everyone who has attended a show, to every band and artist who has graced our various stages, to every friend and family member who has offered an encouraging word, been a listening ear, or freely offered sincere advice: you are what makes this movement so exciting and this community such a joy to be a part of.
