Nashville is where the Big Tent Barn Tour finds its heartbeat. Bringing together farmers, ranchers and landowners from across Tennessee and the wider Mid-South in a venue built for music and community - for a day of keynote talks, farmer conversations, workshops, a large communal meal and live country music from some of Nashville's own. Including a fireside chat with Teddy Gentry, founding member of Alabama, one of the most successful country acts of all time and a regenerative farmer himself.

Beef cattle, row crop transition and major cattle country form the agricultural backdrop. Short film clips from Roots So Deep play throughout the day, building a narrative of real farmers making real change. By the close, the energy shifts from learning to celebration with a fuller band set, good food and good company.

Lily Winwood, daughter of musician and regenerative farmer Steve Winwood, will perform a live set moving fluidly between folk, southern soul, Americana and classic rock. Lily has built her reputation in Nashville's independent songwriting community, sharing stages with Emmylou Harris, Todd Snider and Michael McDonald. 

One of the most respected regenerative grazing practitioners in North America. He has consulted on thousands of farm and ranch operations across the US, helping producers move from conventional to regenerative systems.

Filmmaker behind Carbon Cowboys and Roots So Deep, the acclaimed documentary series on regenerative ranching. Professor of Practice at Arizona State University.
