Paramore were one of several acts who stepped up for longtime Nashville music venue the Exit/In when there was recent uncertainty about its future. The band placed a T-shirt on sale earlier this year with the wording Tiny Hot Topic Bitch, which is the description in Hayley Williams Twitter account, that eventually raised $45,000 for the venue s efforts to purchase the land where the club currently sits.
The family owned and operated Exit/In is currently in its 50th year of operation and earlier this year it was revealed that the property on which the club s venue sits had gone under contract to a firm known for developing luxury hotels. Artists started to help rally support for the club as the owners sought to make an offer to purchase the land outright so that the venue could be run on their terms.
Music fans and artists alike are rallying around Exit/In, a beloved club in Nashville that was recently sold to a developer and could now be forced to close for good. Club owners Chris and Telisha Cobb have launched a GoFundMe to help raise money to hopefully purchase the property back from AJ Capital Partners, with whom it is under contract.
As of publication, the GoFundMe has raised nearly $47,000 of its $200,000 goal via more than 800 donors. The online donation portal shows donations made in the names of several music industry members and artists, including Margo Price.
Price and other artists including songwriter and solo artist Kendell Marvel, who hosted his monthly Honky-Tonk Experience at Exit/In prior to the COVID-19 pandemic have also been spreading the word about the fundraising effort on social media:
