If you needed another reason to hit The Nashville Palace this fall, here it is. Two of the most respected voices in country music, Vince Gill and Mandy Barnett, have joined the lineup for Never Forgotten, Never Alone – A Night for The Wounded Blue, a benefit concert supporting injured and disabled law enforcement officers.
Hosted by national radio and TV personalities Shawn Parr and Megan Alexander, this mid-week show on Wednesday, November 5 promises an unforgettable night of country classics, community, and purpose.
A Night of Country Music with a Cause
The lineup is already stacked with favorites, including Maggie Baugh, John Berry, Chad Brock, John Conlee, Buddy Jewell, Ronnie McDowell, Mark Wills, and Darryl Worley, plus openers Jennifer Grant and Billie Jo Jones (fresh off her run on CBS/Paramount+’s The Road).
Performances will be paired with real-life stories from officers on the front lines, highlighting the work of The Wounded Blue, an organization dedicated to helping law enforcement professionals injured in the line of duty.
