Here in Chattanooga, two nonprofits recently merged to enhance creative education for students and professionals - and grow the creative economy.

Songbirds Foundation, known for its Guitars for Kids program and its venue, joined with Dynamo Studios - known for music production, audio engineering, photography and videography.

The merger retains the Songbirds name - with Dynamo now a brand under Songbirds.

I spoke with John Dooley and Kessler Cuffman of Songbirds.
