In addition to the significantly spacious layout that the new facility offers, it comes with a commercial kitchen, expanding the scope of services Songbirds can provide. Caldwell revealed plans of hosting a variety of musical and entertainment events, some of which will include dinner programs.

“We’re going to a donation-funded model for our guitar displays,” Caldwell stated, highlighting the rejigged fiscal operation of the facility. He also mentioned the ongoing fundraising efforts to support their Guitar for Kids program, which so far has donated over 1,000 guitars to children in need of such musical instruments.
