More than 20 of Nashville’s top musicians take the stage at the historic Franklin Theatre on November 5.
Gary Talley, Jonell Mosser, Joe West and several more prominent Middle Tennessee musicians will take the stage at the historic Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street in downtown Franklin, on Thursday, November 5, 2026, for Rockin’ the House, a benefit concert supporting the Williamson County Homeless Alliance. Although Williamson County is the wealthiest county in Tennessee, more than 1,000 people there experience homelessness at any given time, according to the alliance. Nationwide, more than 750,000 Americans are homeless. Tickets are on sale now (see below for full details).
Headlining the evening is The Rock & Soul All-Stars, joined by a lineup of acclaimed Nashville artists:
- Michael Rix
- The Twilight Train with Rich Jacques
- Jonell Mosser
- Joe West
- Gary Talley of The Box Tops
- Sally Slayden-Berry
“It will feature more than 20 of Nashville’s best musicians and singers,” said Gary Talley, guitarist for The Box Tops, the band behind the 1967 No. 1 hit “The Letter.” “Each of the seven acts alone is worth the price of admission, and it’s for a great cause.”
Talley, who will also perform with the headliners, has high praise for the band. “I’ve been in the music business for 60 years and have played with 115 major label artists,” he said. “The Rock & Soul All-Stars is the best band I’ve ever been in.”
About the event Pastor Kevin Riggs says, “I am excited about our first benefit concert. I think it’s going to be a fun night. It is a great chance to raise money for the organization I am passionate about.”
“Over the past several years we have moved over 200 families from homelessness to housing. The benefit concert is an excellent time to enjoy some music and learn about our organization,” he continues. “The mission of the Williamson County Homeless Alliance is to develop and maintain a permanent transitional sanctuary that meets the needs of people experiencing homelessness in Franklin and Williamson County by partnering with local government, nonprofit businesses, individuals, and churches. I look forward to seeing everyone there. Let’s rock the house!”
Proceeds from the concert benefit the Williamson County Homeless Alliance, a Franklin-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps people experiencing homelessness in Williamson County through emergency, temporary, transitional and permanent housing.
