911 Day Trip
Executive Project Summary
911 Day Trip is an independently created six-track extended play (EP) written by John S. Lewis, Chief Executive Officer of Midtown Goodfellas Publishing, LLC, and performed under the artist's name Official Nashville Kid.
This project represents a true grassroots recording effort developed from a home-based studio environment using Studio One 7 Professional software, basic recording equipment, and a limited production budget. The project serves as a testament to independent artistry, demonstrating what can be accomplished through dedication, songwriting, and creative vision rather than expensive studio resources.
As both songwriter and lead vocalist, John S. Lewis approached the recording process as an emerging independent music creator, utilizing accessible technology and self-directed production methods to bring his musical concepts to life. The EP reflects a journey of growth, determination, and perseverance while documenting the development of an artist and entrepreneur balancing creative expression with business leadership.
Production support for the project was provided by Dar’rell Banks of Dream Life Session, whose musical contributions and production resources helped shape the foundation of the release.
Scheduled for release in 2027, 911 Day Trip will feature six tracks with a total running time of approximately thirty minutes or less. The project has already entered its promotional campaign with the release of the first checkpoint single, “Checkpoint,” now available across major streaming platforms.
In addition to the music release strategy, Official Nashville Kid will deliver an inspirational spoken-word address entitled “All We Got Is Us,” serving as a motivational centerpiece within the project. Additional promotional milestones will include future checkpoint releases and a “Pitstop” release event leading toward the complete EP launch.

Following the release of the official stem package, Owner and CEO John S. Lewis will offer for sale the original Mackie EM-USB microphone used during the recording of the 911 Day Trip project, providing collectors and supporters with an opportunity to own a piece of the project’s recording history.
