Local music venues have been struggling the past year, but we’ve recently received the news that the legendary EXIT/IN is under contract to a firm that’s purchasing independent venues.
A GoFundMe has been launched to hopefully give Chris Cobb and EXIT/IN enough funds to keep the venue alive. So far, it has reached over $150,000 of its $200,000 goal.
If the fundraiser is not successful, Cobb will donate the money to the National Independent Venue Association and Music Venue Alliance Nashville, but he is hopeful that this will be a successful way to save the venue.
The GoFundMe states:
The Exit/In property has gone under contract to a firm that’s purchasing independent venues. We’re very concerned for the future of the club and have asked the firm to sell us the property, so we can continue to operate Exit/In in a manner that serves Nashville’s creative working class. Contributions to our purchase fund can be made here. Should our bid fail, all money raised with be donated to NIVA and MVAN. We love you all so much and are filled with gratitude for your fierce ongoing support of Nashville’s Rock Block
