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.
“My passion stems from the fact that I used to be living on the streets,” Griner shares. “I can understand the challenge to prevail from that kind of situation and feeling hopeless. But it is possible for people to find their way out. I want people to know that it’s possible, and I want people who know someone who’s in that situation to not give up either.”
Giving Nashville artists the opportunity to give back to their community has also proved a special piece to Spreading Hope’s journey. Drew Green shares, “I’m on the road a lot and don’t get to do many acoustic shows anymore so I’m excited to get to do that, and it’s for a great cause! I look forward to Spreading Hope doing what I love most.” Trey Lewis shares his thoughts, “I’m honored to be a part of this event to raise money for the unhoused community in our city. Helping others is the coolest thing you can do, if you ask me.”
