Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, incumbent President of the United States Conference of Mayors, has invited mayors from across the country to take inspiration from Louisville's acclaimed song "Lift Up Louisville" and facilitate the production of a unique song to uplift and represent their own cities. Each song demonstrates the musical diversity of the region, and include contributions from well-known natives. The City Song Project was developed in partnership with Americans for the Arts and with support from the National Endowment for the Arts. Participating cities include Chicago, Detroit, Reno, Austin, Charleston, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, and Burnsville.
