A special evening of songs and stories is set to shine on Broadway this summer as Music Row for MusiCares: A Jody Williams Songs Takeover, presented by the Eric Church Band and Corient, lights up Chief’s on Broadway on Sunday, July 27, 2025. The Eric Church Band (Jeff Cease, Lee Hendricks, Jeff Hyde, John Henry Trinko, Driver Williams, Craig Wright, Joanna Cotten) has organized a cast of some of Nashville’s most dynamic and acclaimed songwriters for a powerful evening of music, storytelling and giving back.
Leading the lineup is Big Machine Records recording artist Jackson Dean (“Don’t Come Lookin’,” “Heaven’s To Betsy”) who will perform along with celebrated Jody Williams Songs writers Driver Williams (“Smoke A Little Smoke,” “Hang Tight Honey”, “Heaven’s To Betsy”), Jason Nix (“Hang Tight Honey,” “Things A Man Oughta Know”) and Jeremy Spillman (“Sinners Like Me,” “Bad Mother Trucker”), plus artists Emily Ann Roberts, Harper O’Neill, Peytan Porter and Andy Austin, along with other very special surprise guests. Collectively, their work has shaped the sound of modern country music, with hits recorded by Eric Church, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde, Keith Urban and many more.
Ticket proceeds will benefit MusiCares, a nonprofit that provides vital health and human services to members of the music community.
Since 2012, the Eric Church Band has helped raise more than $3 million through its annual ECB Golf Tournament and Auction, with proceeds benefiting MusiCares. Music Row for MusiCares is a continuation of that mission, extending the band’s legacy of philanthropy and deep connection to the songwriting community.
Members of The Church Choir, Church’s passionate fanbase, can purchase tickets June 4 at 12pm CST. The public on-sale will follow on Friday, June 6 at 12pm CST, with ticket prices starting at $25. There will also be a limited number of pre-show VIP Meet & Greet Experience ticket upgrades available.
