Thomas Rhett, Lindsay Ell, More Send ‘Gratitunes’ To Vanderbilt Medical Staff This Week

Thomas Rhett, Lindsay Ell, Walker Hayes, Shane McAnally, Sara Evans, the Nashville Sounds and more will be sending ‘Gratitunes’ to the medical staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center this week through performances and words of encouragement on their personal Instagram page.

‘Gratitunes’ is a consumer-generated platform and initiative that kicked off last week on National Doctors’ Day with dedicated ‘Gratitunes’ from Brad Paisley, Dustin Lynch, Jewel and more. Artists encouraged people nationwide to visit gratitunes.com to add their own ‘Gratitune’ to a playlist, which will be made available to all COVID-19 VUMC Assessment Sites and the hospital throughout the next month to help lessen stress and anxiety, and lift spirits.

Once a ‘Gratitune’ is shared, individuals will receive a unique graphic with their dedicated tune that can be shared across social media platforms, using hashtags #Gratitunes and #VUMCHeroes, encouraging others to do the same. All social media posts of encouragement using the collective hashtags will be collected for the staff to read.
