The Stories Behind the Songs featuring Tim McGraw, Tom Douglas and The Warren Brothers
2023-04-10 19:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
The Stories Behind the Songs featuring Tim McGraw, Tom Douglas and The Warren Brothers – The Franklin Theatre
The 21st District Recovery Court (Recovery Court) is hosting their first ever singer-songwriter night on April 10 at The Franklin Theatre. The intimate musical experience showcases the talents of Williamson County’s very own Tim McGraw. The superstar entertainer, author and actor will perform some of his greatest hits in a songwriter in the round style event alongside Tom Douglas and The Warren Brothers.
All proceeds from the event will go directly to Recovery Court to support its 20-year mission to end the cycle of addiction and crime in our community by providing accountability and compassion to non-violent offenders in the criminal justice system. “Both Brad and I have a passion to help those who are suffering from alcohol and substance abuse,” said Brett Warren, who also serves on Recovery Court’s board of directors. “This event is one of the ways we are supporting the addiction and recovery community and we look forward to joining Tim and Tom as we share the inspiration behind some of our songs.”
Douglas is an Academy Award, Golden Globe and GRAMMY®-nominated songwriter and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member who has written several McGraw hits, including “Southern Voice”, “Grown Men Don’t Cry”, “Let It Go”, “Meanwhile Back at Mama’s”, and “My Little Girl.” McGraw has recorded more than 30 of The Warren Brothers songs including “If You’re Reading This”, “Felt Good on My Lips”, “Highway Don’t Care”, and “Thought About You”.
Presenting sponsors are H.G. Hill Realty Company and Let it Shine Gymnastics. Additional sponsors include: Buerger, Moseley and Carson, Gray Public Relations, Lacie and Kyle Simonton, Judge Deanna Johnson, Brett Warren and David Dingler. The event is in collaboration with Songwriters City.
The inaugural singer-songwriter event adds to Recovery Court’s 2023 fundraisers. The annual Eat the Street Food Truck Festival will be held on Friday, June 2, and the annual Community Luncheon, which is rebranding from its breakfast format to accommodate growth, will be held on Monday, Oct. 30.
Recovery Court is funded primarily through grants and private donations, and receives no taxpayer funding. “Our program is not an easy way out,” said Program Director Connie Martin. “The court only considers applicants demonstrating a genuine desire to confront their addictions. Those that are accepted undergo rigorous treatment and intensive monitoring as they learn life skills and new habits for successful living. Our model is unique in that it uses a non-adversarial, therapeutic approach to crimes rooted in addiction.”
According to local law enforcement professionals, most crimes committed in our community are drug or alcohol related. Recovery Court has proven effective in reducing the revolving door of drug and alcohol related crime as well as reducing the cost to taxpayers. The program spends approximately $14,500 per participant annually compared to an estimated $35,000 to incarcerate each offender for a year.
Those who would like to support Recovery Court but cannot attend the event may make an online donation at 21stdc.org.

About 21st District Recovery Court
The 21st Recovery Court serves the 21st Judicial District. Program participants are non-violent offenders with a history of chemical dependency, which has shown to be one of the primary reasons for repeated criminal activity. The program works with law enforcement and the courts as participants engage in a highly supervised, two-year program, providing treatment, supervision and support. Graduates of recovery court programs have a low rate of reoffending, especially compared to those offenders supervised in traditional court probation and parole programs. Participants’ recovery allows them to have a productive life while the community is served by a reduction in criminal activity and cost-effective treatment for offenders. Most importantly, the families and lives of the participants are restored to a safe and positive environment. Recovery courts in Tennessee are not supported by state judicial budgets, rather they are partially funded by a portion of statutory court costs paid by criminal offenders.

2023-04-22 12:00 - 17:00 | Tony’s Eat & Drink, 1000 Meridian Blvd, Suite 100, Franklin, TN, 37067, United States
We Care Williamson County, a local 501(c)3 organization, is proud to announce our 10th Annual Charity Crawfish Boil taking place on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 from 12 pm – 5 pm. The event will take place in the parking lot at Tony’s Eat & Drink, rain or shine! Address: 1000 Meridian Blvd, Ste. 100, Franklin, TN 37067.
The Charity Crawfish Boil tickets are $35 per person, and the price includes all-you-can-eat Crawfish with all the fixings (corn, sausage, potatoes). Tickets can be pre-purchased online at Tonyseatanddrink.com, or purchased at the gate.
Along with the delicious Louisiana-style Crawfish boil, there will be a silent auction, live signed sports jersey auction, and live music all day long. This will be a great day to enjoy the spring weather, eat some Cajun crawfish, and raise money for the community.

This annual charity event has always been well attended and supported by our fabulous Williamson County residents through the years, and we sincerely appreciate all the support. We look forward to hosting the best dang Charity Crawfish Boil in the county!
All proceeds from the event will be used to support two local causes: The Refuge and local resident Jackie Kelley.
The Refuge Center exists to offer excellent, accessible and affordable mental and emotional healthcare services in support of a transformational impact on communities. This Williamson County based organization values systemic health, affordability, excellence, Christ-centered faith, education and hope.
Last year, local resident and active community member Jackie Kelley suffered a near fatal injury in a vehicle accident, resulting in a three-month hospital stay with on going rehabilitation. Jackie has been a pillar of the charitable community in Franklin for years, and we want to show our gratitude and thanks by supporting him through his recovery.
A little bit about We Care Williamson County:
We Care Williamson County was founded out of deep care for our local Williamson County Community of families. What began as a charity event in 2013 in support of Mary’s Trail, a non- profit founded in memoriam of Mary O’Connell, the crawfish boil was created to financially assist women battling breast cancer. The event has since morphed into a successful annual fundraiser helping families or individuals fighting cancer or other health crises. The crawfish boil tradition draws many of the same volunteers and supporters year after year and has raised over $100,000 for families in need.
After years of facilitating other organizations, many of the original volunteers have banded together to create We Care Williamson County, a 501c3 non-profit whose sole purpose is to assist those in need in our community. These volunteers have worked tirelessly together for years to assist fellow non-profits and families needing assistance and would like to thank you for your continued support.
Please join us for the 10th Annual Crawfish Boil on Saturday, April 22, from 12-5 rain or shine, benefiting The Refuge & Jackie Kelley.

Recipients of 7 CMAA Awards (The Australian equivalent of CMAs), 11 no.1’s on Australian country music charts and a no.1 pop hit in Europe, O’SHEA were recently featured in CMTs Artist Discovery program. They are the Australian ambassadors for The Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Heart kids and co-chair Family Voices of Tennessee.
The duo are bringing together a who’s who of special guests for a special night to remember with all proceeds from the show benefiting the musical program of Franklin Elementary School.
Franklin Elementary is located near the heart of downtown Franklin and has been an integral part of the Franklin community since 1906. The staff embraces children of every culture and background believing this diversity gives the students a global perspective allowing them to recognize and appreciate differences, but in the same respect, understand there are many similarities in all cultures.
Because 30% of the students at Franklin Elementary School come from impoverished homes, the school must rely on the support of the Franklin community to provide excellence in the fine arts programs. The staff of FES focus on educating the whole child and believe instruction in music and art to be key components in improving learning throughout all academic areas. Experiences in the arts also provide children with non-academic benefits such as promotion of self-esteem, motivation, cultural exposure and appreciation of diversity.
Join O’Shea and Friends for a fantastic night of entertainment and help raise money for the art and music programs at Franklin Elementary School.

5th Annual Songwriter’s Night
2023-06-04 18:00 | Fat Bottom Brewing Co., 800 44th Avenue N., Nashville, TN, 37209, United States
Gilda’s Club Middle Tennessee 5th Annual Songwriter’s Night in Nashville
Gilda’s Club Middle Tennessee will feature Chris Housman in the 5th Annual Songwriter’s Night. The event will take place Sunday, June 4, at 6:00 PM at Fat Bottom Brewing in West Nashville. Chris Housman will be joined by Nell Maynard, Chris Sligh, and Dakota Striplin.
Originally from Hanston, Kansas (population: 200), Chris Housman immersed himself in music at the age of seven when he taught himself to sing and play the fiddle, which quickly led to regular performances in a family band at Wild West shows. After a move to Nashville to attend Belmont University, Housman added piano, guitar, upright bass, and even spoons to his list of talents while playing at over 150 colleges across the country.
In 2019, his unique talent for whistling earned him a spot as one of the Top 5 musical whistlers in the world, and he has found a way to merge all of his influences, experiences, and talents into a sound uniquely his own. Chris will soon be following up his last release, mega-viral and iTunes #1 song, “Blueneck”, with his debut EP – which will include the viral songs, “Nobody” and “The Bible Belt” that have already generated over 4.5M views on TikTok.
Tickets to the 5th Annual Songwriter’s Night are $150 and available here:
https://gildasclubmiddletn.org/events/songwriters-night/
Songwriter’s Night is being generously supported by Ardent Health Services, Studio 8 Design, and Hip Donelson. Sponsorship opportunities are available for this event. If interested, please contact Meghan Lamb at

Songwriter’s Night is made possible by Gilda’s Club founders Fletcher Foster, Ronna Rubin, and board member Samantha Saturn.
