A national nonprofit is honoring America’s veterans with an exclusive virtual concert this week.
Musicians on Call has teamed up with Wrangler to host Concert For Veterans Presented by Wrangler, for veterans in all Veterans Affairs facilities nationwide for Veterans Day.
The concert -- featuring Wynonna, Peter Frampton, Darius Rucker, Sara Evans, Lainey Wilson, Michael Ray, Striking Matches, Jameson Rodgers, Caylee Hammack, Sarahbeth Taite, Catie Offerman and more -- is being shared this week with VA facilities through MOC’s Virtual Bedside Performance Program.
“This year has been especially hard on hospitalized Veterans and their caregivers who have had to go without the regular support of their loved ones and volunteers in the hospital due to the pandemic," said Musicians On Call President & CEO Pete Griffin. "Musicians On Call’s live music programs have always meant a lot to our VA partners and, while we’ve missed visiting with the Veterans in person, we are glad to have remained connected during this hard time through our virtual programs."
The show is hosted by Big Sky Music Group recording artist Stephanie Quayle, from The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN. The artists will perform their hits and offer songs of encouragement and messages of thanks to all veterans for their service.
“Wrangler is proud to team up with Musicians On Call to honor our nation’s Veterans by harnessing the power of music," said Holly Wheeler, vice president of global brand marketing at Wrangler, "a facet that the Wrangler brand has always channeled in our designs and collaborations throughout the years."

“The pandemic has impacted all of us," said Citi Interim CMO Tina Davis, "but it has disproportionately impacted vulnerable groups, including our country’s hospitalized veterans and their caregivers. Citi is deeply proud to help spread the healing power of music this Veteran’s Day to all those who tune into the virtual concert."
For more than 20 years Musicians On Call has used music to promote and complement the healing process through programs including the Bedside Performance Program, Virtual Bedside Performance Program, and Music Pharmacy.
