Rides Now Available to Warming Shelters! Plus: AI Is Infiltrating Songwriting in Nashville. What's Next?

Metro has announced a hotline for those who need rides to the warming shelters set up across the city — to request transportation, call 615-401-1712. We’ve got the latest on our winter storm disaster, plus: Are the robots writing our music? Producer Daniel Sumstine is joined by Brittney McKenna, who recently published a deep dive in the Nashville Banner on how songwriters are grappling with AI and what it means for creativity, jobs, and the future of Music City. From tools that promise faster workflows to virtual artists landing on the charts, the question isn’t if AI will change Nashville — it’s how much, and who it helps or hurts. Report power outages to NES by texting OUT to 637797. Please reserve 911 for emergencies, including downed power lines. For everything else, call 311 or visit hubNashville.  Metro has opened emergency warming locations at fire stations and community centers. These will be open 24/7.
