2019 ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp

The ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp takes place in various locations across Nashville, Tennessee. In June 2019, campers enjoyed an unforgettable experience with artists Tenille Townes, Chris Young, producer/songwriter Ross Copperman, and singer/songwriter Joy Williams. While the campers prepared backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, special guest Morgan Evans surprised the campers prior to their huge grand finale performance with Michael Ray at the Grand Ole Opry.

On Monday, Tenille Townes and Chris Young visited the campers during a recording session at Belmont University’s Ocean Way Nashville Studios, where the campers did a Q&A with Townes and Young and recorded their original song, “The Way You Love,” with songwriter/producer Ross Copperman and singer/songwriter Joy Williams.

On Tuesday, ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp concluded with a final touching performance at the Grand Ole Opry with Michael Ray, who joined the campers to sing their original song “The Way You Love,” which the campers wrote just days ago with Ross Copperman, Lady Antebellum, and Joy Williams.

The Camp is a partnership between ACM Lifting Lives and Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities. This year marks the 14th anniversary of Vanderbilt Kennedy Center’s Music Camp and the 9th year that ACM Lifting Lives has been involved.
