“The Day the Music Stopped” is a feature-length documentary examining the decade-long struggle of independent music venues and the creative class they support against developers and concert promoter Live Nation.

Taking place in Nashville, Tennessee, dubbed “Music City USA”, our story is depicted through the lens of Exit/In, one of the nation’s

most historic independent venues. We watch as the club’s owner/operator Chris Cobb, the musicians who perform there and political allies work together to save the club from imminent corporate takeover.
