What started as a spark of connection in 2014 blossomed into a wonderful love story of serendipity, resilience, and shared passion for the arts. As co-founders of Center Stage Magazine, a Nashville-based online platform dedicated to music news, artist interviews, comedy reviews, film critiques, and more, Tommy and Missy have built a thriving community for emerging and established talents. The magazine, often described as their "love child," emerged as a creative outlet during tough times, including medical challenges with Missy's son. Through features like Missy's popular "Conversations with Missy" series, which has spotlighted icons such as Tommy Cash, Tommy Roe, and Tommy Howell, they continue to inspire and connect the entertainment world.

Currently sitting in fourth place in their group, they need a surge of votes this week to claim the top position and advance. The competition's grand prize includes $20,000 and a coveted feature in Variety Magazine, but more importantly, every vote contributes to the LA Foodbank's efforts to combat hunger and Oceana's mission to protect the world's oceans. Supporters can cast one free vote daily with additional voting starting at just $1 each, with options to cast 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, or 250 votes—or even a custom donation amount in an effort to support LA Foodbank and Oceana.

"We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity to share our story and give back to causes close to our hearts," said Missy. "Center Stage Magazine has always been about amplifying voices and building community, and now we're asking our amazing readers to join us in this adventure. Let's make it to the quarter finals together—your vote could change everything!”

Tommy added, "From our first meeting in Nashville to chasing dreams with the magazine, Missy and I have always tackled life as a team. Winning this would be a dream, but supporting LA Foodbank and Oceana makes it even more meaningful. Vote now and help us hit number one!”

In addition, if they win this competition, Center Stage Magazine will be making an additional donation to help provide support to Musicians On Call, a nonprofit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients, families, and caregivers in healthcare environments. This pledge reflects their commitment to the music community and those facing health challenges, aligning with their own experiences and the magazine's mission.
