5th Annual Sips & Sounds

Sips & Sounds
The Mission Behind the Music

Every Song Tells a Story. Every Ticket Changes a Life.

Some of the greatest songs ever written didn't begin on a stage, they began with a story.

Join Wilson Rides on Thursday, October 29, for an unforgettable evening where nationally acclaimed Nashville singer-songwriters share the inspiration behind their music in an intimate songwriter round unlike any traditional concert.

This is your chance to experience the stories behind the songs directly from the writers themselves; the moments that inspired the lyrics, the memories behind the melodies, and the journeys that led their music to GRAMMY recognition, award-winning albums, and Billboard Country chart success.

Featuring

• Gary Hannan

• Michael Logen

• Heather Morgan

Before the music begins, enjoy a relaxed evening with dinner, refreshments, our Silent Auction, and the popular Wine & Whiskey Pull. Reconnect with friends, meet fellow supporters, and experience one of Wilson County's most unique nights of live entertainment.

But this evening is about more than great music.

Every ticket purchased helps Wilson Rides provide affordable transportation and community programs that keep adults 55+ throughout Wilson County connected to healthcare, groceries, community activities, friends, family, and the independence they deserve.

When the lights come up and the music begins, you'll hear incredible songs. When the evening ends, you'll know your attendance helped write another chapter in someone else's story.

Every Song Tells a Story. Every Ticket Changes a Life.
