Atlanta Music Community Celebrates Holidays with BMI

Artists and executives from the southeastern music community converged on Atlanta to celebrate the holiday season at the annual Atlanta Holiday Party hosted by BMI December 9. Held at Tongue in Groove, the event featured sounds from DJ Ideal and DJ Trauma, and tempted revelers with cocktails provided by Spaten beer and Remy Martin. Attendees participated in a goodie-stacked raffle drawing, featuring coveted items from Puma, Gibson Guitar, Silver Jeans, Solstice Sunglass Boutique, the Ellis Hotel, and more.

BMI also collected coats and other articles of clothing generously donated by party attendees to donate to the Harvest Community Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
