HARDY brought together an all-star lineup of collaborators and friends for “Trend Presents: Off The Record” at Marathon Music Works on Wednesday night (June 3), delivering an intimate show experience that also served as a fundraiser benefiting The HARDY Fund.

The evening opened with HARDY welcoming Lauren Alaina to the stage for a performance of their No. 1 collaboration, “One Beer.” HARDY then took the spotlight solo for “Favorite Country Song” before introducing Stephen Wilson Jr. The pair shared moving renditions of “Gary” and “Father’s Son.”

HARDY kept the momentum going with “Sand In My Boots” before inviting Ella Langley to join him for “Be Her.” The collaborative portion of the evening expanded further when Miranda Lambert appeared, joining Langley and HARDY for performances of “Choosin’ Texas” and “Signed, Sober You.”

One of the night’s standout moments came when Karen Fairchild took the stage with HARDY for a rendition of Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush.” The performance soon evolved into a powerhouse female collaboration as Langley, Lambert and Lainey Wilson joined in. The group continued the moment with a performance of “Better Man,” earning one of the evening’s biggest audience reactions.

Wilson remained onstage with HARDY, delivering their CMA-winning duet “Wait In The Truck” before the pair switched gears with Wilson’s hit “Watermelon Moonshine.”

ERNEST was next to join the celebration, teaming with HARDY for “Gettin’ Gone,” “Flower Shops” and “More Than My Hometown.” Tucker Wetmore followed, performing “Wind Up Missing You” and “Brunette” alongside the host.

To close the evening, HARDY stayed on stage alone for a performance of his multi-week chart-topper “Truck Bed.”
