“We created The Country Soul Songbook Summit to meet this moment, and to build what our Country-Americana community needs right now.
  
We need the music and the conversations that feed us to be intersectional. 

We need BIPOC & LGBTQIA voices to be centered.

We need the creative friction of many diverse viewpoints to provide the momentum to drive us toward the change we wish to see and be — in these genres and in the world. 

We need these voices to redefine
what it means to be Country,
what it means to be Southern,
what it means to be Western
and what it means to be American.
