Featuring an incredible lineup of 13 performers, including Austin Burke, Morgan Myles, Matt Ferranti, Stephanie Ryann, Paige Davis, Davey Arnold, Austin Jenckes, Madeline Slate, Joe Collins, Dustin Christensen, Noah West, Justin Love, and Sasha McVeigh, the event encourages a suggested donation of $10, with all proceeds going directly to Hope on the Row.

For those unable to attend in person, the concert will be live-streamed for free by Phierce Productions on Volume.com, offering additional opportunities to donate and support this meaningful cause.
Since its founding, Spreading Hope has been a beacon of kindness and unity, leveraging the power of music to generate over $30,000 in funds for Hope on the Row. This holiday season, we invite you to join us in spreading warmth and support to those in need, showcasing the transformative impact of generosity.
Born in 2020, Spreading Hope found its home in the Nashville community through host, curator, producer and director Keith Griner’s mission to uplift those who may find themselves feeling hopeless or helpless as a result of homelessness. Carried by an abiding enthusiasm for being a source of light to the city’s unhoused —regardless of their reason for homelessness — his commitment to the cause arrives from his own personal dealings with it. Fighting through homelessness and addiction himself, Keith, now 15 years sober, has the ability to suffer alongside those struggling in this way throughout our community; a deep empathy which he turns to fuel for action and change.
The Spreading Hope benefit concert offers Nashville artists a unique opportunity to give back to their community. Craig Campbell, a featured artist, expressed his enthusiasm for the cause, stating, “Spreading Hope is an amazing event, and I am honored to be a part of it. Lots of people don’t have adequate clothing for the cold months, and this event takes care of that issue for many of them.” Fellow artist Natalie Stovall echoed this sentiment, saying, “I’m honored to be a part of Spreading Hope’s clothing drive. I grew up here, so Nashville has always been my home, and it’s so important we take care of our community—especially as it gets colder and more difficult on our unhoused. We can all make a difference!”
