That love is the backbeat of \u2018Lift Up Louisville,\u2019 which tells the story of this moment in the life of our city, our country and our world. And the story of this moment includes the countless acts of kindness, inspiration and unity that we\u2019ve seen in our city as people from every background and every neighborhood have found ways to lift each other up. I want to thank Teddy Abrams and his fellow musicians who found a way to collaborate from a distance and bring our city even closer together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abrams added: \u201cWe hope that this song provides inspiration and pride for Louisvillians, and that it functions as a reminder that the city\u2019s artists believe in service to their community in addition to performance at the highest levels. We\u2019d love to see other cities take this model and build their own songs, creating a quilt of songs reflecting the various musical communities of towns around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/lift-up-louisville-covid-19-990394\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musicians and artists from the diverse music scene in Louisville, Kentucky, have collaborated on a charity single, \u201cLift Up Louisville,\u201d to raise money for the city\u2019s COVID-19 response fund.
