MUSIC CITY 2021 NFDA Convention Highlights continued Photos Courtesy Elizabeth Roberts, Roberts & Downey Chapel Equipment, Argenta, Illinois Heart Filled Music Launches Heart Filled Radio Streaming Service KINGSTON SPRINGS,TN— Heart Filled Music is proud to announce the launch of Heart Filled Radio, a music streaming service designed specifically for the funeral home industry. Owners Su- san and Larry Hall, of Nashville, TN, premiered the new service at the 2021 NFDA Expo in Nashville in October. Heart Filled Music has been provid- ing accompaniment tracks and back- ground music CDs since 2017. The music they provide has been produced by Larry Hall, who has an extensive his- tory of music production and arranging in Nashville over the last 30 years. Art- ists such as Kenny Rogers, Ronnie Milsap, Leon Russell, Russ Taft, Randy Travis and many others have asked Larry to arrange and produce for them. Heart Filled Music was born out of requests from friends and family. Susan says, “We have family and friends in ministry who were often asked to sing at funerals. They always had a great challenge finding high quality accom- paniment tracks. We’ve had great suc- cess in supplying professionally pro- duced music for that need.” “We’re very excited about Heart Filled Radio. It is a website-based subscription service that streams the perfect back- ground music for funeral homes and other businesses that need quiet and re- spectful music of various styles. There will never be an ad heard on Heart Filled Ra- dio, and the cost is very reasonable.” Music is such an important and often overlooked part of a visitation and funer- al. It really does set a comforting tone to have the right music playing in the back- ground. More information can be found at www.heartfilledradio.com .
