Special hosts include Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Hutchinson, Former player/Entrepreneur Eric Decker, Entertainer/Entrepreneur JT Hodges, and Emcee/Comedian Matt Rogers.

He has scored several top ten singles since with the songs "Goodbyes Made you Mine", "Ray Bans" and "Sleepy Little Town"....which is a number 1 record. He has toured with the likes of Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Matchbox 20, Rob Thomas, Butch Walker, Eli Young Band and Toby Keith. Hodges has also spent plenty of time in front of the camera. He starred in the Hallmark film "Finding Christmas" and Lifetime’s "Christmas Stars".

”The mental health crisis not only effects many of us individually, but also our families & our friends.

Being able to partner with Pro Football Hall of Famers while using my artist platform to help raise money for awareness and treatment is an honor. Entertainment and sports bring us together to do great things!” -JT Hodges

Natalie Hemby

Grammy Award winner Natalie Hemby has become one of music’s defining songwriters with eight #1 singles including Lady Antebellum’s “Downtown,” Little Big Town’s “Pontoon” and “Tornado,” Miranda Lambert’s “White Liar” and “Automatic,” Justin Moore’s “You Look Like I Need A Drink,” and her most recent Jon Pardi’s “Heartache Medication.” She’s also written songs for Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Amy Grant, Eli Young Band, Rosi Golan, Toby Keith, Lee Ann Womack, Labrinth, Lucie Silvas, and many others.

“Automatic” earned Hemby a Grammy for Best Country Song in 2015. The hit also took home ACM Song of the Year honors the same year, as well as a NSAI Song of the Year win and a CMA Song of the Year nomination in 2014. In 2017 she released her first solo project entitled Puxico and opened for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on tour.

In 2019 Natalie scored two songs on the #1 album soundtrack to “A Star Is Born,” including “Always Remember Us This Way,” which was nominated for a 2020 Grammy for overall Song of the Year and “I’ll Never Love Again,” which won the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

In 2019 Natalie joined with Maren Morris, Brandi Carlisle and Amanda Shires to form the supergroup The Highwomen and released several tracks including “Redesigning Women” and “Crowded Table,” both co-written by Hemby. The group continues to receive world-wide critical acclaim for their self-entitled album, which debuted #1 on the country charts.

The culmination of her unparalleled journey is reflected on her brilliant sophomore record “Pins and Needles” released in 2021. This album finds Hemby reaching a pinnacle in her career after decades of establishing an incredible and versatile presence in the music industry – now with the record label deal she had dreamed of as an aspiring artist in her early 20’s.

RAELYNN

Two-time ACM New Female Vocalist nominee RaeLynn continues to carve her unique lane in Country music with her gift for storytelling through songwriting, accented by a one-of-a-kind, electric personality. She has released multiple new songs in 2022 including “I Love My Hometown,” “If God Took Days Off,” and “Raisin’ Me A Country Girl,” which will only add to her 1 billion total career streams. Her 2021 full-length album BAYTOWN has earned over 100 MILLION global streams, is the full expansion of her 2020 EP of the same name, and has scored high-profile features with PEOPLE, American Songwriter, and Entertainment Tonight. The album BAYTOWN was lauded as “a confident, joyous effort” (Billboard) that’s “equally tender-hearted and fiercely fun” (Tennessean). BAYTOWN followed RaeLynn’s widely praised debut WILDHORSE which arrived at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and was recognized among the best Country albums of 2017 by Rolling Stone, UPROXX and Stereogum. She recently joined Kane Brown’s BLESSED & FREE TOUR and has previously shared the stage with Garth Brooks, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, and Blake Shelton.

Her star continues to rise after becoming the first Country face to represent the global beauty brand Too Faced and made her acting debut in the Hallmark Channel movie, A Nashville Christmas Carol.

“Any way I can lend my voice and help raise awareness to a situation, I am going to, especially mental health. It is something that not a lot of people want to talk about, or admit they are going through. As a musician we experience a lot of ups and downs, highs, and lows. Having the support, resources, and the help you need when you are in those lows is so important. Fund Recovery is that.”

BUTCH WALKER

Hey it’s me. Butch Walker. I was born a "Bradley" but hated it so I took my dad’s nickname. I’ve been singing and playing guitar since i was about 8. I’m 53 now. A lot has happened since then...

I’ve toured the world as an artist many times, and still do. I put out records under my own name and have a really crazy and loving fan base that comes to the shows and sings along to all the words in case I forget them.

I’ve also written and produced a bunch of albums and songs (some nominated for Grammys), including artists like Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Green Day, Pink, Train, Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, Rayland Baxter, Bowling For Soup, Injected, Sevendust, Frank Turner, Matt Nathanson, Brian Fallon, Adam Lambert, Rob Thomas, The Wallflowers, Jewel, The Struts, Andrew McMahon, Elizabeth Cook, and more.

"Why Fund Recovery? Because as someone who has struggled with mental health issues and having a son who has also had to walk through a life with plenty of challenges, I commend anyone that has the courage to share their struggles with others while reaching for help."

"I am involved because i want to normalize mental health struggles, especially with a lot of men (like myself) who were raised in a toxic environment to believe that admitting things like mental struggles are being "weak" or "not manly". It’s time to stop that mentality and show up for people going through hard times and struggles."

Music is life! -Butch

Lit

Lit is considered one of the preeminent bands to have come out of the post-grunge era of the late 90's and helped define an entire generation of SoCal power pop punk with hard charging hits like "My Own Worst Enemy," "Miserable," "Zip-Lock," "Over My Head," and "Lipstick & Bruises."

Who could forget the immortal lyric, "Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?" or the time Pamela Anderson devoured the band whole in the "Miserable" music video? They stood out as the rare act whose presence could be felt loud and clear at Woodstock ’99. They we’re staples on MTV’s TRL, Spring Break, and CRIBS. Twenty years after its initial release, the eleven week number one smash and Billboard Music Award-winning "My Own Worst Enemy" not only went double-platinum, but Post Malone also covered it on Instagram Live as did Kelly Clarkson and Jimmy Fallon on his late night show. Further speaking to their enduring influence, they’ve inspired think pieces by everyone from American Songwriter to Kerrang!, while Consequence of Sound named them one of the "100 Best Pop Punk Bands." Not to mention, their music blared through American Reunion, Central Intelligence, Parks and Recreation, Rock Band, and beyond as they also impressively averaged over 2.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The guys have amassed a catalog highlighted by fan favorites such as the multi-platinum A Place in the Sun [1999], Atomic [2001], and Lit [2004], The View From The Bottom [2012], These Are The Days [2017], and their latest release, Tastes Like Gold [2022].

"Mental health has thankfully become much more a mainstream discussion and is much less of a taboo topic like it used to be, but there is a lot of work still to be done and a lot more people to reach. We hope that by teaming up with Fund Recovery along with other amazing musicians and athletes, we can help shine some light on a subject that is too easily shoved into a dark closet."

-Jeremy Popoff

ERIC PASLAY

Country artist Eric Paslay delivers a powerful punch as a renowned Platinum-selling, GRAMMY nominated hit songwriter, artist, and performer. He’s celebrated five No.1 hits, with four of those ranked among the "Top 100 Songs of the Decade" by Country Aircheck, including the #1 spot on that chart with "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" as recorded by Jake Owen. The Temple, Texas native has earned numerous songwriter award nominations including GRAMMY’s Best Country Song, ACM’s Song of the Year twice, and the CMA Song of The Year as well as an artist GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "The Driver" -a collaboration with friends Charles Kelley and Dierks Bentley. In 2022, Eric continues to see success as a songwriter, having co-penned Keith Urban’s latest hit "Wild Hearts." And his latest album, a compilation of reimagined versions of Eric’s biggest hits as a writer and artist, Even If It Breaks Your Barefoot Friday Night, is available now. A true artist’s artist USA Today calls Paslay "flat out-brilliant" and American Songwriter names him an influencer of country music.

"No one is immune to mental illness. When someone needs help we should all reach out a hand. I believe in Fund Recovery and I’m so proud to come alongside so many others helping to fulfill their mission by helping those in need. I am involved with Fund Recovery, not just because I have family and friends who struggle with mental illness, but because my brother has worked in mental health for over a decade. I hear firsthand what impact listening and loving those in need can have on their life and also on the lives around them. The butterfly effect of a caring heart is endless. I try to do that with my music and I know that Fund Recovery does that every day in so many lives who need it."

TYLER RICH

Northern California-raised, Nashville-rooted Tyler Rich found his love of music gathered around a Christmas tree alongside family singing holiday classics and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fast forward to graduating college with a degree in Economics, Tyler moved to LA to pursue a different game of numbers – music – exploring various genres with songwriting and bands before taking the leap as a solo artist. Since, Tyler has amassed nearly half a billion global streams to date with his debut album TWO THOUSAND MILES (The Valory Music Co.), featuring GOLD-certified “The Difference,” plus subsequent releases “Better Than You’re Used To,” The Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johnston-produced “A Little Bit of You” and “Trucks Don’t Lie.” He most-recently released “I Know You Do” after joining forces with one of Canada’s most successful bilingual singer-songwriters, Marie-Mai for a duet on “Thinkin’ We’re In Love,” which served as the name of his 2022 headline tour. Tyler’s music embodies the feelings all people have in common – the need for acceptance, devotion and a place to call their own – and that empathetic spirit extends to animals too. With Rich Rescues, Tyler visits local shelters while out on the road to raise awareness for pet adoption. For a full list of tour dates and more, visit TylerRich.com.

"I will always jump at the opportunity to work with programs for mental health awareness and accessibility.
