Live Music Sound Nation (or LMSN) is a contemporary instrumental multi-media ensemble founded at Sewanee, focusing on the production and performance of modern rock and film score shows. Using a highly collaborative approach, the next generation of talented musicians and artists rehearse music and prepare visual displays for arena-style rock and movie concerts. We use the latest in sound/lighting FX and design as we perform the compositions of the great musical artists of the modern day.

The name Live Music Sound Nation was born out of a need to describe what the group does: Live Music, because that is how and what we perform; Sound, because that is the principle component of music and how the world communicates most effectively; Nation, because we are musicians from all over the world, brought together as one, unified by our desire to perform and produce incredible live musical experiences for audiences.
