Tin Pan South Partners With Musicians On Call

Each year, the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival Presented by Regions Bank donates proceeds from the door of one show to a designated charity, and organizers are pleased to name Musicians On Call as the beneficiary of the 23^rd annual event. The special round is scheduled to feature Rodney Clawson, Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley at 6:30pm on Friday, March 27, at The Listening Room Cafe.

“Musicians on Call and Tin Pan South are a perfect match, and we are honored to have them as the beneficiary this year,” said Jennifer Purdon Turnbow, NSAISenior Director of Operations. “The work they do bringing the healing power of music into hospitals is nothing short of amazing.”

Musicians on Call started in 1999 and currently operates their Bedside Performance Program in 15 cities. MOC volunteers visit patients at their bedsides to perform acoustically for the patient, their family and the caregivers at children’s hospitals, adult facilities, VA hospitals and hospices. Performances have touched the lives of nearly 500,000 people.

The Musicians on Call Music Pharmacy program provides hospitals with complete, customized cd libraries and players for patient use. This year, they are expanding this service to include bringing downloaded or streaming music to patients. Their Project Playback program gives patients the chance to write and record their own music and lyrics with some of its talented volunteer musicians.
