VH1 Save The Music Foundation brings the ultimate medley of the senses to Atlanta on April 26 with the second stop of its 2017 ‘Musically Mastered Menu’ tour. PEOPLE’s “Ones to Watch” singer-songwriter Hailey Knox will bring her electro-pop sound to the intimate dinner fundraiser hosted by Atlanta Chef Jennifer Hill Booker at the Westside Cultural Arts Center. The event is sponsored By Lyric by Etude and benefits VH1 Save The Music’s efforts to restore music programs in America’s public schools. Tickets are available at https://on.vh1.com/MMMAtlanta.
Hosted by Atlanta-based Digital Publisher & Fashion Blogger Coco Bassey, Millennielle, the special event will serve up Chef Hill Booker’s “Modern Southern Healthy Cuisine with a French Accent” also inspired by Knox’s soulful voice.

“Atlanta is a thriving metropolitan that is home to many iconic musicians,” said Henry Donahue, executive director of VH1 Save The Music Foundation. “We’ve had great success in working with schools in the Atlanta area and we hope this event will help us continue on the path of making music education available to all students.”
VH1 Save The Music Foundation has provided 14 grants to schools in the Atlanta area, including Atlanta Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur and Rockdale County School District. The foundation will provide one Keys+Kids Piano Grant to an Atlanta area school for the 2017-18 school year.
