Stars for Second Harvest: Celebrating 46 Years of Feeding Tennessee
The 46th anniversary of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee is a milestone worth celebrating. It’s not just about the number; it’s about the impact – serving 46 counties across Middle and West Tennessee. One of the cornerstones of this remarkable journey is our “Stars for Second Harvest” concert, a star-studded event that has become an institution in country music and the fight against hunger.
A Rich History of Music and Generosity
Stars for Second Harvest, now over 30 years old, began as a small gathering to celebrate local musicians at the Historic Belle Meade Mansion. Today, it has found a larger stage at the iconic Ryman Auditorium, drawing larger crowds and support from across the country.
From 2005 to 2023, the event was hosted by renowned singer-songwriter Craig Wiseman. Under his stewardship, the concert raised over 7 million meals, a testament to the power of music and community coming together for a cause.
Star-Studded Lineups
Over the years, Stars for Second Harvest has showcased some of the biggest names in country music. Legendary artists like Vince Gill, Tim McGraw, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Florida Georgia Line, Keith Urban, Chet Atkins, Blake Shelton, and Dierks Bentley have graced the stage, delivering unforgettable performances that have left a lasting impact on the community.
Commemorating 46 Years of Service
As we celebrate the 46th anniversary of the Second Harvest Food Bank, it’s essential to reflect on the importance of this organization. For nearly half a century, Second Harvest has been a lifeline for those in need, ensuring that families across our 46-county service know where to look for help. Stars for Second Harvest embodies this spirit of giving, uniting artists, fans, and the community in a shared mission to fight hunger.

This year’s Stars for Second Harvest promises to be an extraordinary event. As we gather at the Ryman Auditorium to welcome our new host, ERNEST, let’s remember the significance of our collective efforts.
