Cooper Alan made his Ryman Auditorium debut to a sold-out crowd in Nashville last weekend as part of his Good Noise initiative.

The Ryman show was part of the second annual weekend event for the Good Noise initiative, which supports the Cooper Alan Foundation. On Friday night, the singer-songwriter hosted a private gala and writers round with intimate performances from Alan as well as Drake White and Jaren Johnston which raised over $500,000 for the foundation. This event was followed by his headlining debut at the Mother Church of Country Music on Saturday evening.

The Cooper Alan Foundation is dedicated to improving lives through mental health advocacy, expanding access to resources and support and working to reduce stigma so everyone can receive the care and compassion they deserve. Proceeds from this year are going directly to The Charlie Daniels Journey Home Project and Brother’s Keeper, two foundations that directly support veterans mental health.

“Back when I was playing morning shifts on Broadway for tips, I made myself a promise: if this music thing worked out, I’d use my voice for something that mattered,” says Alan. “That’s how the Cooper Alan Foundation started. Every year, we throw Good Noise, a weekend-long party that supports people dealing with mental health challenges, because we believe everyone deserves to get the help they need. Everyone deserves to feel good.”

Alan is gearing up for his “To The Pub Tour” which will visit Dublin, London, Birmingham, Glasgow and more, before heading back to North America for a run of headlining dates.
