Nashville-based singer-songwriter Kyshona has always lent her voice and music to those that feel they have been silenced or forgotten.
Honing a message of empowerment, overcoming adversity, and finding hope, she released her aptly titled LP “Listen” in February 2020. The album’s 10 tracks are co-produced with Andrija Tokic (St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Alabama Shakes, Hurray For The Riff Raff) and recorded mostly at his famed Nashville studio The Bomb Shelter.

On March 27, the BMW CCA Foundation Museum in partnership with Cars & Coffee of the Upstate, is hosting Foundation Food Drive a Cars and Coffee for all car lovers! The day’s objective is twofold – collect more food than the weight of a BMW Alpina XB7 and have a great time! That’s collecting over 5,800 pounds of road-hugging food to help the Greer Community Ministries!
This event has plenty to offer:
– The BMW Performance Center will be on-site to explain the many programs they offer. They have kindly donated two passes to a Performance Drive Experience. Everybody who donated food gets a raffle ticket!
– The BMW Factory HR team will be on-site to recruit technical minds for positions in the factory. If you have a desire to work for the best, this is a great opportunity.
– Tour the BMW Foundation Museum – the current exhibition has twenty-four pre/post-war BMW cars and motorcycles. Since this is indoors, we limit the number of people that can visit the museum at any one time. There is a reduced $5 rate for those who donate food.
– See the rare BMW Alpina XB7 and new M4. The 613 hp Alpina XB7 can accelerate 0-60 mph in 4 seconds flat, while carrying a family in ultimate comfort. The new BMW M4 is a bit quicker, with 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. It’s a lot more compact!
– And of course, all the hundreds of cars scheduled to be at the Foundation for the event.
