Amy Grant and Chris Isaak to Be Honoured at Nashville Music Fundraiser

Amy Grant and Chris Isaak will be honoured in Nashville on 10 November at Save the Music's seventh annual Hometown to Hometown fundraiser.

The evening takes place at City Winery in Nashville, according to details reported by Billboard. It is the seventh edition of a fundraiser that started in 2019. Details were reported ahead of the November date.

Grant and Isaak lead the list of honourees. They will be joined by Cesar Gueikian of Gibson Guitars and Nat Zilkha of Firebird Music. All four will be recognised on the night.

Radio host Leslie Fram and singer-songwriter Caylee Hammack will co-host the fundraiser. The pair will introduce the honourees and performers. The hosting keeps the night moving between honours and songs. Hammack has two jobs on the night. She will host and then take the stage herself.

Music is central to the programme. The night will feature acoustic performances, meaning stripped-back sets built around voices and instruments rather than full production. Grant will perform. Isaak will perform. Hammack and Amanda Shires will also perform.

All funds raised from the 2026 event will support music education programmes in under-resourced public high schools. That means schools where funding for instruments, teachers and lessons is limited. The money is designated for schools in Nashville, New York City and across California. Three regions will benefit from one night.

Since launching in 2019, Hometown to Hometown has raised more than $1 million to support music education. The figure covers six previous fundraisers. It gives this year's edition a benchmark to measure against.

The event is organised by Save The Music. The charity says its mission is to help students, schools and communities reach their full potential through the power of making music, as stated on its website Save The Music. It says it has spent more than 27 years working for fair access to music education. It says that work has reached millions of students across the United States.

For fans, this means stripped-back sets with voices and instruments to the fore. Four acts. One cause. The proceeds stay with music classrooms. Listeners hear every word. The night links the stage directly to the classroom.
