Lineup Unveiled For 30th Annual Concert For Cumberland Heights

/by

Keith Urban, Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and more are among the lineup for the special 30th annual Concert for Cumberland Heights, “Riding With The King: A Tribute To John Hiatt,” set for Nov. 9 at the Ryman Auditorium.

This year’s concert carries extra significance, as it coincides with Cumberland Heights’ 60th anniversary of providing addiction treatment and recovery services to Middle Tennessee and beyond, and also marks the concert’s standing as the longest-running benefit at the Ryman. The tribute also marks a special milestone for the concert series, celebrating 30 years of music, storytelling and service in the name of the artist whose legacy inspired it.

The evening will bring together some of the most celebrated singer-songwriters in American music for a night of songs and stories honoring Hiatt’s decades-spanning influence, all to support a cause near and dear to Hiatt’s heart. The all-star lineup for the special anniversary show also includes Rosanne Cash, Lilly Hiatt, Shawn Colvin, Richard Thompson, Robert Earl Keen and Pat McLaughlin, along with a special performance by John Hiatt himself. Additional performers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Established in 1996, the Concert for Cumberland Heights benefits the John Hiatt Fund for Adolescent and Young Adult Treatment, which supports programs and patient scholarship assistance at Cumberland Heights. Over the past three decades, the concert has raised millions of dollars to help teenagers, young adults and their families find hope and healing from addiction. This year’s dual milestones, 30 years of the concert and 60 years of Cumberland Heights, make the tribute to Hiatt even more meaningful given his own longstanding connection to the organization’s mission.

Tickets go on sale Friday (July 31) at 10 a.m.
