Brian Sharp’s Nashville Dream

Jim Burress / WABE News

Brian Sharp’s day job as a local police officer involves a gun and a badge. 

But his other gig involves a microphone, a country song, and a dream of Nashville.

To get there, Sharp’s started a Kickstarter campaign

[Kickstarter is a web portal where a person sets a financial goal and a timeline for raising a certain amount of money.  People make donations.  But if Sharp comes up just a dollar short, everyone gets their money back and he gets nothing.]
