Some songs you know by heart. On September 26th, you’ll get to hear the stories behind them — straight from the people who wrote them.
Join us at Ott Vineyards for the Fostering Roots Benefit, presented by Traveling Caregivers Ministries, for an intimate afternoon of music featuring hit songwriters from Nashville.
Hear the stories behind songs like “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off,” “Back When I Knew It All,” “American Ride,” “Without You,” “Drowns the Whiskey,” “Ain’t Always the Cowboy,” “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain),” and more.
Saturday, September 26th
Doors open at 12 PM | Music begins at 2 PM
Featuring:
Gary Hannan
Dave Pahanish
Brandon Kinney
Matt Warren
Tom Blake
Travis Bowlin
Dawn Loves Nash
Along with the music, the afternoon will include a silent auction, live painter, and final live auction.
Most importantly, proceeds benefit Roots Thrift Fostering Care, supporting foster families right here in Gilmer, Fannin, and Pickens counties.
Come spend the afternoon with us for incredible songwriting, the stories behind the songs, Ott wine, and a beautiful day in the North Georgia mountains — all while supporting a cause that directly impacts families in our community.
