The night will be hosted by iHeartMedia's Nationally-Syndicated On-Air Personality and MOC Board Member Bobby Bones and will focus on celebrating how MOC uses music to spread joy and healing.

"Musicians On Call is always something we're quick to be part of," said Charles Kelley. "We've seen first-hand how powerful music is, especially in tough times, so we're looking forward to helping celebrate their 10th anniversary."

"We believe that Musicians On Call is the 'Most Important Gig in Music City, " and we're excited to bring our supporters together for a great night of music with Lady Antebellum to celebrate our milestone," said Pete Griffin, MOC President. "We couldn't have reached this moment without the support of our volunteers, musicians, donors, hospital staff, partners, Advisory Board Members and Board of Directors who help us deliver the healing power of music to over 126,000 people in Nashville."
