BMI and More or Less (With Jess) recently partnered to produce a new series, Struck a Chord, to highlight the importance of mental health and the power of music and lyrics in the healing process for both creators and fans. The three-part series features interviews with BMI singer/songwriters Ashe, Lauv and Sarah Kinsley, and their fans on location at concerts, giving an insider’s look into how an artist’s mental health can impact their songwriting and how those lyrics resonate with fans who personalize and internalize them as a source of comfort and connection. The first installment launched October 10th in honor of World Mental Health Day, and featured Ashe at her sold-out Brooklyn Bowl concert in Nashville. The "One Night Only" event saw fans from all across the country welcoming her back to the stage after a 22-month-long mental health hiatus.
