HARDY, RANDY MONTANA, HUNTER PHELPS AND JAMESON RODGERS HEADLINE INAUGURAL “COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA” EVENT TO BENEFIT MUSIC HEALTH ALLIANCE

Evening of Stories and Songs raises $125,000 to support non-profit’s free healthcare programs and life-saving advocacy services

NASHVILLE, Tenn., — Music Health Alliance (MHA), recently honored with the 2021 CMA Foundation Humanitarian Award, unveiled its inaugural “Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda” event last night, headlined by four of Music City’s hottest songwriters ‑ HARDY, Randy Montana, Hunter Phelps and Jameson Rodgers – performing songs in the round that “coulda, shoulda, woulda” been a smash along with their biggest hits. The evening of stories and songs, hosted by Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton at City Winery, raised $125,000 to support the Nashville-based non-profit’s free healthcare programs and life-saving advocacy services.
 
“Coulda, Shouda, Woulda” — an old Southern expression for wistful regret, marks the fate of many a good song. Placed unfinished in the back of a drawer, left off an album it didn’t quite fit, every songwriter is haunted by the songs that didn’t seem to get a fair shake. This is how Grammy-winning songwriter Liz Rose came up with the idea for “Coulda, Shouda, Woulda,” a one-of-a-kind event where top songwriters get to pull out the songs that “coulda, shouda, woulda,” and finally give them their day. Join us to hear songwriters play their best songs with the worst luck, the songs they wished they had written, and of course the hits that did get their due. 
 
For every $1 donation, MHA is able to provide $30 in life-saving healthcare resources to Heal The Music.
