Ed Sheeran performs to raise funds for Musicians On Call.
On Monday (July 8), 107.5 The River hosted a Star Party at Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Nashville, to benefit Musicians On Call, an organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedside of patients at healthcare facilities. The Star Party, which featured English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, raised more than $22,500 for the Nashville branch of Musicians On Call. The amount raised is more than enough to fund one of the program’s 11 weekly Bedside Performance Programs for a full year.
Sheeran’s solo-acoustic set included hits “The A Team” and “Lego House,” as well as fan favorites including “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.”
Through benefit concerts, live and online auctions featuring concert experiences and memorabilia from The Black Keys, Eric Church, Kelly Clarkson, Darius Rucker, Gene Simmons, Sheeran, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and more, MOC Nashville has received over $65,000 in recent weeks to go toward programs in Middle Tennessee. MOC Nashville anticipates the announcement of an additional weekly Bedside Performance Program to open later this year.
