14TH ANNUAL EVENT RAISED $180,000 EARLIER THIS MONTH
Nashville, TN – For 14 consecutive years, Craig Wiseman – acclaimed songwriter and founder of Big Loud Shirt Industries and Big Loud Records – along with his superstar friends, have come together to support Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. This year’s benefit concert raised a record-breaking total of $180,000 bringing the 14-year total to $1.3 million. Presenting sponsor O’Charley’s, along with stage sponsor Nissan North America and Second Harvest supporter Steve Pariso, made generous donations to help reach the record-breaking total.
The 14th annual benefit concert, held Tuesday, June 5 at the historic Ryman Auditorium, was a Big Loud Party featuring all Big Loud artists and songwriters including Jake Owen, Morgan Wallen, Jillian Jaqueline, Mason Ramsey, Chris Tompkins, Rodney Clawson, Matt Dragstream and Wiseman as host.
“It’s astounding that in year 14, we’ve exceeded all previous years with the amount raised. I am so grateful for all of the fans, artists and supporters of this incredible event. Each and every one of them has helped us year after year to support this great cause,” said Wiseman. “It is a blessing to work alongside our generous sponsors O’Charley’s and Nissan North America and a special shout out to Steve Pariso for his generosity. With their help we are able to touch the lives of so many who struggle to find a meal.”
Since its inception 14 years ago, the annual event has raised enough money to provide over 5.2 million meals to Middle Tennesseans at risk of hunger.
