With over 30 years of experience serving people with addictions, homelessness and serious mental illness, Founder of Layman Lessons, Louie Johnston Jr., has provided for the homeless since 2000. “I feel so fortunate to have Eddie and Troy sign on for this event,” said Louie. “It is so important to spread the word about Layman Lessons and raise money for a great cause in Middle Tennessee.”
ABOUT MONTGOMERY GENTRY: With over 20 plus charted singles, the Kentucky-born duo celebrated a major career milestone last year as Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry were inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. On June 9, 2015 the pair released Folks Like Us, their eighth studio album and first with label partner Blaster Records.
Montgomery Gentry has earned countless CMA, ACM, and GRAMMY awards and nominations with undeniable blue collar anthems like “Hell Yeah,” “My Town,” and “Hillbilly Shoes.” They’ve notched five #1 singles (“If You Ever Stop Loving Me,” “Something To Be Proud Of,” “Lucky Man,” “Back When I Knew It All” and “Roll With Me”) and will soon celebrate their seventh anniversary as Grand Ole Opry members.

ABOUT LAYMAN LESSONS: This was formed as a Tennessee Non Profit Corporation in 2003 as an approved IRS 501c3 Religious and Charitable Organization. In 2015, Layman Lessons provided food for one million meals to America’s needy and homeless. Within the first two months into 2016, they have supplied food for 350,000 meals for those in need. They also provided 10,000 bottled water canteens during the hot summer days and 1,500 survival rescue blankets to the homeless during freezing temperatures. The organization is able to serve over 24,000 in Middle Tennessee alone and the number goes well beyond that across the nation. Layman Lessons has partnered with Ken Jakes Produce, The Salvation Army, Feed America First, One Warm Coat, OneGenAway, and the 700 Club Operation Blessing.
