Highway Home - Gordy's HWY 30 music festivals

THE MISSION:
3 Veterans are challenged with a new mission to find healing by being paired up with a national artist to write an original song. Before time runs out, they will then take the stage in front of thousands of fans at Gordy’s HWY 30 Music Festivals: June in Flier, Idaho and then October in Texas at Texas Motor Speedway.

DOCUMENTARY TV SERIES SYNOPSIS:
This non-drug-related solution to heal those suffering from TBI, PTSD, and Suicidal thoughts, gives them the ability to take what is inside and put it into an art form. This will help inspire both the writers and the listeners, which helps the viewer of the TV Series realize they are not alone.

Each Festival will be filmed and bring different challenges to the veteran and national artists to bring their stories to life through music, storytelling, and live performances.

JUNE 18-24:
One veteran and a national artist will travel on a Tour Bus from Dallas to Idaho and have 3 days on the road to go through our Healing Camp and learn to write in a journal. On the road trip with Matthew JC from JC AllStars, they will write an original song together. They will record it in a studio in Idaho when they arrive and on Saturday Night June 24, they will perform their original together in front of a sold-out crowd on the main stage.

OCTOBER 18-22:
In October, 2 veterans and 2 national artists will go through our healing camp in the Stockyards of Fort Worth, then write an original song together with Matthew JC, of the JC AllStars. They will then rehearse and be challenged as they will perform their songs in front of 30,000 + fans at Texas Motor Speedway on the main stage.
