Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities, hosted an exclusive sold-out concert event at City Winery on October 26th to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of its music programs in Nashville.

The sold-out crowd were treated to a star-studded lineup featuring a headlining performance by seven-time Grammy award winning group Lady Antebellum and performances from Charles Esten, Brandon Ray, The Railers, Filmore, and Chuck Wicks, plus a special appearance by Peter Frampton. The night was hosted by iHeartMedia’s Nationally-Syndicated On-Air Personality and MOC Board Member Bobby Bones and will focused on celebrating how MOC uses music to spread joy and healing.

The night featured special spotlight on Musicians On Call’s recent trip to Las Vegas, where they brought Nashville musicians to deliver the healing power of music to patients, families, and caregivers affected by the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting. In a heartfelt tribute, Filmore, The Railers, and Charles Esten revisited their experiences performing for caregivers and patients and performed for the audience the songs they played in Las Vegas. Check out the behind the scenes footage here.

“Our 10th Anniversary was not only a celebration of a milestone, but an opportunity to thank all of our amazing volunteers, supporters and partners that helped us get there,” said Pete Griffin, Musicians On Call President. “The fact that we raised over $260,000 to support our programs is a testament to how much this Nashville community believes in the healing power of music.”

In addition, Pete Griffin presented Executive Vice President, Katy Epley, with a commemorative RIAA plaque in appreciation for her ten-year commitment to the organization.

TriStar Centennial Medical Center hosted the celebration featuring performances from Warner Music Nashville recording artists Michael Ray and Ryan Kinder. Warner Music Nashville COO, Matt Signore, and SVP Artist Development, Shane Tarleton, were on hand to show their support of Musicians On Call’s 10th Anniversary by presenting a check for $10,000 to support the new program. Following the program, Michael Ray and Ryan Kinder performed the first Bedside Performance Program within the new orthopedic patient unit, where Michael Ray suprised patients with acoustic renditions of his hits “Kiss You In The Morning” and “Think a Little Less” and Ryan Kinder performed “Still Believe in Crazy Love” and “Close.”  In addition to the support of the 10th Hospital Launch, Warner Music Nashville employees embarked on a volunteer initiative throughout the day where they volunteered at Musicians On Call programs throughout Nashville.

 

The new Bedside Performance Program takes place at TriStar Centennial Nashville’s brand new orthopedic patient unit, which held its formal ribbon cutting on Monday.

This program marks the third Bedside Performance Program MOC will have within the HCA system, where they have already played for nearly 10,000 patients, families and caregivers since 2013 at TriStar Centennial Medical Center Women’s and Children’s Hospitals and Sarah Cannon Cancer Center at TriStar Centennial.

“Today was a perfect TEN! It’s the 10th anniversary of Musicians on Call in Nashville, we helped launch its 10th program and we are beyond thrilled to donate $10,000 to such a wonderful cause,” said Shane Tarleton, SVP Artist Development. “To celebrate this milestone, our staff is volunteering across all the MOC programs today alongside two of our artists, Michael Ray and Ryan Kinder. Sharing the healing power of music is a priority for all of us here at Warner Music Nashville.”

 

“Warner Music Nashville have embraced our efforts to deliver the healing power of music and we’re thrilled to have their support in today’s big milestone of our 10th Hospital Launch in Nashville,” said Pete Griffin, Musicians On Call President. “It’s a special milestone to cap off our 10th Anniversary in Nashville, where our Musicians On Call volunteers have performed for over 130,000 patients, families and caregivers.”

 

Musicians On Call will celebrate its 10th Anniversary on Thursday, Oct. 26th with a sold-out star-studded event at City Winery, presented by National Geographic, featuring a special performance from Lady Antebellum.
