About this Event
Where is AI taking music, and where should music take AI?
Nashville PACE (the Professional Artist & Creator Exchange) is a new experiment created by Happy Montana and Jay Bragg to bring Nashville’s professional creative voices together for meaningful conversation, connection, and exchange.
For our first gathering, we are exploring one of the biggest changes facing music today: artificial intelligence.
Hosted by Happy Montana + Jay Bragg, with special guests from the world of music and the intersection of music and AI, to be announced soon.
We will look at AI from different perspectives and discuss the opportunities, concerns, creative tools, generative music, authorship, artist identity, compensation, copyright, and what this changing technology could mean for the future of making music.
This is not an AI sales pitch. It is not an anti-AI rally. And it is not a traditional panel.
It is a room full of interesting people from Nashville’s music community having a real conversation about something that affects all of us. Artists and executives. Songwriters and technologists. People excited about what is changing, people concerned about it, and people still figuring out what they think.

Music City Work Club, The Nations, Nashville. Generously hosted by Music City Work Club. Free parking on site.
Attendance is intentionally limited to keep the conversation personal and participatory. When you register we ask three short questions: they help us shape a balanced room, with different voices and different relationships with AI.
