Cherish UNPLUGGED featuring Gordon Kennedy with Charles Esten & Danny Flowers

Cherish UNPLUGGED

Please join us on Wednesday, November 3

– either in person or virtually –

for the 13th Annual Cherish the Night UNPLUGGED

featuring Gordon Kennedy with Charles Esten & Danny Flowers,

with a special presentation of the Troy Gentry Compassion Award to our dear friends, The Young Fables.

There is a phenomenal ONLINE art and silent auction opening on Wednesday, October 27 and closing at the end of the event on November 3.

For those who remember when MTV actually played music videos, there was an incredible series they launched called MTV UNPLUGGED. It was an American television series on showcasing musical artists usually playing acoustic instruments. The show aired regularly from 1989 to 1999 in front of a small audience.  We are adding a twist by offering a livestreamed component so guests can enjoy this unique event from the comfort of their home.

We have three ways for you to attend:

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS

Attend Cherish as you used to – in person! With a slight twist. Our theme is “Cherish UNPLUGGED.” This year’s event will be one of the most intimate, unique, and exclusive experiences. Reserve your spot now!

HOST YOUR OWN HOUSE PARTY

Don’t want to leave the house but still want all the engaging aspects Cherish has to offer? Curate your own house party with this distinctive package. You’ll be provided a link to the concert, a Batch Nashville host gift, and a special dessert delivered to your door by Tiff’s Treats! Invite your friends, gather around the television, and enjoy Cherish in your own home!

LAY BACK WITH A LINK

This ticket allows you to take part in Cherish at a price that rivals any concert! You’ll receive a link to the concert, and will be able to follow along and bid on silent auction items. Cozy up on the couch in your sweats and enjoy Cherish the way you want!

“Kelly and I are thrilled to be joining Vince Gill in helping an organization make a difference daily in the lives of so many Middle Tennessee families, schools and communities. November 22nd will be a remarkable night of music with Vince set to surprise us again with an incredible lineup of talented friends,” Mason said.

Benefit chairwoman Christy Smith said the conservatory of the Country Music Hall of Fame is the backdrop of the huge silent auction and unique art event where notable artist and gallery owner Ron York is creating ten star-themed paintings which Gill will sign as well as other gorgeous pieces from area artists.

“Prior to the concert will be a fun social hour and a silent auction including impressive array of items from Predators and Titans tickets and jerseys to autographed stools used by the Gill and guests during the concert and a one hour of guest hosting on 102.5 The Game with George Plaster and Willy Daunic,” Smith said.  “A very special part of the pre-concert festivities is the presentation of the ADAM Award established In 1999 by Kids On The Block founder Alva Duke in memory of her son, Adam, born with Down Syndrome. This incredible program of STARS helps kindergarten through sixth grade students understand, accept and honor differences while fighting prejudice and injustice.”
