NASHVILLE, Tenn., (June 25, 2026) –– The Society of Leaders in Development (SOLID) successfully brought Music Row Madness back to the driving range on Thursday, May 28, raising $13,800 for five nonprofit organizations serving the music industry and greater Nashville community.
Teams representing Amazon Music, Citrin Cooperman, Curb Records, Endurance Music Group, FBMM, Ground Control Business Management, Reliant Talent Agency, The Orchard, UTA, and Warner Chappell Music competed throughout the evening while supporting the fundraising efforts. Ground Control was crowned the 2026 Music Row Madness winner.
"We’re incredibly proud to bring together different parts of the industry in a way that has been both meaningful and fun. Seeing everyone rally around our community partners is truly inspiring and this event is a great example of how connection, some healthy competition, and a shared purpose can come together to help us create a impact both on and off of Music Row," SOLID's 2026 Community Outreach Chair, Leigh Ferro, said.
Held at Topgolf Nashville, the 2026 Music Row Madness fundraiser marked the event's return to a golf-focused format after previous years as a bowling tournament. The reimagined event welcomed industry professionals from across Music Row for an evening of friendly competition, networking, and philanthropy, all in support of SOLID's 2026 SOLID Shares partners; The L.O.V.E. Academy, Family Alliance in Music (FAM), Healing In The Margins, The Nashville Food Project, and The Aloe Family. Representatives from each organization attended the event, connecting directly with participants and sharing information about their missions and impact.
In addition to team competition, attendees participated in a raffle featuring prizes generously provided by The Format Fitness, Root Wellness, and Topgolf, further contributing to the event's fundraising success.
Music Row Madness is one of several annual fundraising initiatives organized by SOLID, with proceeds supporting nonprofit organizations selected through the organization's SOLID Shares program. Through SOLID Shares, the organization continues its mission of connecting, educating, and empowering the next generation of music industry leaders while giving back to the community that supports them.
