This year's Concert for Cumberland Heights, featuring The Fray, was a huge success. Held on September 13th at the Ryman Auditorium, the concert raised money and awareness for the John Hiatt Fund for Adolescent Treatment at Cumberland Heights. It was chaired by Jody Roberts and Cal Turner III.
The Fray, who recently recorded their third album in Nashville for relase later this year, gave an electric performance, playing fan favorites "How to Save A Life" and "You Found Me."
Guests who purchased premium ticket packages enjoyed a pre-concert party at the Hilton in downtown Nashville. The party featured live music, a silent auction and a strolling dinner.
Donor and fan support made this year's event the highest grossing since its inception.

The Concerts for Cumberland Heights began in 1996. Singer/songwriter John Hiatt serves as host of the event each year, with well known headliners performing at the 2,400 seat historic Ryman Auditorium. The Concert is the largest single source of income for our adolescent treatment program and has raised over $2.4M since its inception.
John Hiatt’s public stance about his own recovery from alcohol and drug abuse has been courageous and awe-inspiring. John understands the addiction process and that it ultimately affects teenagers’ families, friends, and school acquaintances.
With outstanding volunteer involvement, the Concert has become an annual event on the Nashville social scene.
A premium ticket or sponsorship includes not only the Concert, but also the pre-party event.
