SPREADING HOPE WITH KEITH GRINER — A BENEFIT CONCERT SERIES AND CLOTHING DRIVE TO HELP THE NASHVILLE FAMILIES
HOPE ON THE ROW SERVES NEXT SHOW WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20 AT LIVE OAK WITH PERFORMANCES BY TREY LEWIS, CRAIG CAMPBELL, MARY KUTTER & MORE
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (December 13, 2023) – Fueled by moving humility, a passion for rallying the community together, and an others-focused ambition, Spreading Hope With Keith Griner — a concert series with a purpose — has announced their next benefit show, a winter clothing drive, set to happen at Live Oak on Wednesday, December 20. So far, Spreading Hope has raised over 30k for Hope On The Row through over 200 artist performances.
With a glowing lineup of 12 performers including Trey Lewis, Sammy Arriaga, Craig Campbell and Mary Kutter all donations received will be donated directly to Hope On The Row— a local nonprofit serving Nashville’s unhoused. Hope On The Row will also be on site taking all types of winter and warm clothing donations; jackets, sweaters, stocking hats, gloves, thermals, yet they always have a need for sock donations too. For those who can’t make it in person, the concert will be live-streamed for free via Phierce Productions on Volume.com, with opportunities to donate from the live stream as well.

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 16 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 – there is hope, and I want people who know someone who’s in that situation to not give up either.”
About Hope on the Row:
Hope On The Row is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It was founded in 2020 by Nashville-based songwriter Ava Suppelsa in an effort to support the homeless community in Nashville amidst the global pandemic. 100% of donations go directly to providing Nashville’s homeless with food, supplies, and other personal items necessary for survival.
