COTA Benefit for Rose
2022-11-15 18:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
COTA Benefit for Rose – The Franklin Theatre
We invite you to join us for a very special and unforgettable evening of music and stories to benefit the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) in honor of 8-month-old baby Rose Daniel from Nashville, TN.
Baby Rose was born on January 19, 2022 with a rare and fatal liver disease called biliary atresia that occurs in 1 in 15,000 births. There is no known cause or cure for this disease and a liver transplant is almost always required. Biliary atresia is a blockage in the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder. This congenital condition occurs when the bile ducts inside or outside the liver do not develop normally. Baby Rose went into total liver failure shortly after being born and at only 5 1/2 months old on July 9, 2022 at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital she received a liver transplant. Because of an organ donor, her life was saved. Although Baby Rose is currently doing well, the battle to keep her liver healthy will be lifelong and come with extensive costs.
Doors will open at 6pm for cocktails and an art sale with a variety of art donated from local artists. The show will begin at 7pm, featuring stories and songs from successful songwriters Jenny Gill, Kim McLean, Billy Dawson, Greg Barnhill, Emily Daniel and other special guests (Jack Settle and Kent Blazy singing his hit song “If Tomorrow Never Comes”) to raise awareness and money for COTA in honor of Rose to assist with transplant-related expenses.

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. For more information, visit 21stdc.org or call 615.595.7868.
