La Scène: Where It’s At

VIE’s 2017 Stories with Heart and Soul Tour hit Music City to celebrate the September issue’s travel spotlight on Nashville. The event, held at The Listening Room Cafe on July 27, included fund-raising efforts to aid Alaqua Animal Refuge of Freeport, Florida, where a new hundred-acre facility will feature space for over 350 animals, an arena for equine therapy that doubles as an event venue, educational workshops, and more. Performances by Ashley and Shannon Campbell, Billy Dawson, Stephen Ellrod, Scott Crompton, and more helped make the evening a huge success. Over $19,000 was raised for Alaqua, thanks to auction and raffle items from Annie Parker Jewelry, Graceful Rebel, KREWE, Caliza Restaurant, Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, and more.
