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:

The name Button Ball derives from the story of our “Button Jar.” After their forensic interview, each child chooses a unique button that represents them and places it in the jar, which holds the thousands of buttons of children we have served in the past. The jar is inscribed with “You Are Not Alone”—a message we think is crucial for their healing journey. Your participation at Button Ball directly impacts the lives of those thousands of children. This year’s theme will be The Roaring Twenties, so think “The Great Gatsby!”
The evening will include a cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres, a bourbon grab, an elegant dinner from Catering & Events By Suzette, dancing, and silent and live auctions. Our keynote speaker will be Erin Merryn, sharing her inspiring personal story, and about the enactment of “Erin’s Law,” which became law in Tennessee in 2014. Live music will be provided by Coy Roy. And we are pleased to have Department of Children’s Services Director of Communications Alex Denis return as Master of Ceremonies.
Funds raised support investigative and healing services to children and their families who are facing sexual and significant physical abuse. These services include Forensic Interviewing, Child & Family Advocacy, Trauma-Focused Counseling, Case Management, and community-based Prevention.

Brews & Grooves: A Concert Benefitting Waves
2023-09-21 18:00 - 21:00 | Eastern Flank Battlefield Park, 1368 Eastern Flank Cir, Franklin, TN, 37064, United States
Waves is honored to host our fall fundraising event including an evening of music featuring original songs and covers by Aaron Bucks. Aaron will be accompanied by adults supported at Waves. This event will take place at Eastern Flank Event Facility in Franklin, TN. This event is sponsored by FirstBank, Oversite Consulting, Tom & Marida Stearns, HUB International, and TeamLogic IT. Food trucks will be on-site. Middle TN Electric Sharing Change is the food sponsor for this event.
Beverages (alcoholic or not) and food will be provided by local breweries partnering with Waves and are included with the ticket purchase. Alcohol has been donated by Naked River Brewing.
Waves is excited to welcome Aaron Bucks to headline this event. Aaron Bucks is a vocalist and writer with songs charting Billboard and award-winning recognition throughout country music. In addition to Bucks’ career as a musician, he is co-founder of The Toby Project as an advocate for the Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee (DSAMT) in memory of his youngest son Tobias.
Joining Aaron Bucks on stage will be a few adults supported at Waves, who love to perform. This showcase of adult services will give attendees an idea of how Waves programming helps those supported meet their goals and make their dreams come true.
This is a family-fun event where parents are encouraged to bring their kids (10 and under are free). Waves will provide a kid’s area with activities.
In addition to attending the event, the community will be able to support Waves through an online auction. A lot of great items have been donated to Waves to help raise funds for the public to bid on, like Panama City Beach condos, Pilgrimage Festival tickets, a guitar signed by Lainey Wilson, and so much more! You do not have to attend the event to participate in the online auction.
