Musicians On Call Launches Concerts For Veterans, Hosts Musician Performances In Murfreesboro, TN VA Hospital

Bringing The Music To Vets

MUSICIANS ON CALL recently brought a few volunteer artists to perform for veterans at the ALVIN C. YORK VA MEDICAL CENTER in MURFREESBORO, TN, including TYLER BRADEN, who worked in radiology at the hospital before finding success in music, co-writing a #1 song for LUKE COMBS; DREW PARKER, who was a firefighter for years before going into music full-time; and AUSTIN SNELL, who was in the AIR FORCE for four years before pursuing a career in music. 

The musicians played for an audience of 50 veteran patients that day, with caregivers sharing how impactful the program was, especially as it was the first time the facility had any kind of music programming in three years. 

JOHN ORTIZ, a recreation therapist at the MURFREESBORO facility, said, “Today’s show was a big hit. Talking with a few veterans back on my unit, they had a great time … they enjoyed seeing live performances again.”

As previously reported (NET NEWS 11/7), MUSICIANS ON CALL is also launching its third annual virtual CONCERT FOR VETERANS, which went out to 144 VA hospitals and caregivers across the country this week.
