Hope On The Inside To Host Writers’ Round Benefit With Kix Brooks, Vince Gill, More

/by

Hope On The Inside is hosting a fundraiser at the Listening Room in Nashville on April 2 with proceeds going towards their prison re-entry and rehabilitation initiatives.

The evening will spotlight Nashville Metro Jail’s Behavioral Correctional Center, sharing real-life testimonies that reinforce Hope On The Inside’s mission of rehabilitation. The event also features performances by Chancie Neal and Three Times A Lady, followed by a writers’ round with founders Briana Calhoun and Kix Brooks alongside Bob DiPiero, Vince Gill, and Tim Nichols. Throughout the night, guests can also participate in both silent and live auctions.

“I can’t wait to share what is going to be a really special night with some of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters, great artists and inspiring stories,” says Briana Calhoun, Founder and Executive Director of HOTI. “Hope on the Inside’s mission and success in rehabilitation support programs is offering true second chances to those who might otherwise never get one. So, we’re excited to recognize and support organizations like the Behavioral Correctional Center right here in Nashville. The incredible efforts of Sheriff Daron Hall and his staff have created a humane and practical approach to rehabilitation unlike anything I’ve witnessed in a metro correctional facility.”

Launched in 2023 by Louisiana natives Calhoun and Brooks, Hope On The Inside brings music and conversation into correctional facilities. By paring songs rooted in real-world struggle with Calhoun’s own powerful story, the nonprofit strives to connect hearts, inspire change and uplift the voices of those who have walked the hardest roads.

Tickets for general admission and VIP seating are now available for purchase here.
