Porter’s Call will celebrate 25 years at a special anniversary event, “Evening of Stories,” on Sept. 1 at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, where they will honor Amy Grant.

The evening will honor Grant with the Porter’s Call’s Founder’s Award, recognizing her enduring impact on the music community and her longstanding support of the organization’s mission. The Founder’s Award was first presented to Porter’s Call founder Al Andrews in 2023, and recognizes individuals whose lives reflect the organization’s spirit and mission.

This year’s “Evening of Stories” will feature artists sharing personal stories of how Porter’s Call has impacted their lives alongside acoustic performances. Artists currently set to honor Grant include Hillary Scott of Lady A, Ellie Holcomb, and Natalie Hemby, with Dave Barnes and Melinda Doolittle serving as hosts. The evening will also include live and silent auctions benefiting Porter’s Call and its mission to provide free and confidential care for recording artists and their partners.

“Porter’s Call will present the Founder’s Award to Amy Grant, an artist whose life and legacy beautifully reflect the heart, hospitality, and quiet generosity that inspired Porter’s Call from the beginning,” says Beth Barcus, Co-Executive Director and Porter of Porter’s Call. “Amy has long created space for honesty, belonging, and soul care within the music community, embodying the same compassionate vision that guided our founder, Al Andrews. Through her influence, encouragement, and faithful presence, she has helped keep the door open for countless artists to find rest, connection, and hope.”

Founded in 2001, Porter’s Call provides free, confidential support to help artists and their partners thrive, mentally, emotionally, and creatively. Available to artists anywhere in the world, Porter’s Call provides one-on-one support, couples and band sessions, retreats, and workshops, all tailored to the unique challenges of life on the road and in the spotlight.
