‘An Acoustic Evening For Autism’ Benefit Moves To Nashville Palace

The Country Music Autism Awareness Foundation is moving their 2nd Annual fundraising event “An Acoustic Evening For Autism” to the Nashville Palace on April 1 due to increased demand.

Established last year by Christian country singer-songwriter Doug Mathis, the 2025 event will showcase acoustic performances by Darryl Worley, T. Graham Brown, John Berry, Jamie O’Neal, Minnie Murphy, Mathis and several surprise guests, with evening hosted by Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame personality Devon O’Day.

All proceeds will benefit Vanderbilt Kennedy Center’s Treatment and Research Institute for Autism Spectrum Disorders (VKC TRIAD) in Nashville. General admission tickets are available now.

“Given last year’s successful launch we have decided to move our largest fundraiser event to a larger venue, to accommodate a larger crowd,” says Mathis. “Beyond that, the Nashville Palace is a legendary country music venue that also will increase our production capabilities as we plan to grow this into an annual event.”
