It wouldn't be a party in Music City without some great tunes! Join us as we close out The 2021 TMA Annual at a reception featuring some classic funk music along with performances from two talented musicians.

Throughout the evening, we will celebrate the 2021 Turnaround/Transaction of the Year Award winners. Winning teams will have the opportunity to take photos with TMA leadership during the reception.
