At Musicians On Call (MOC), every day is Veterans Day. Since 2009, MOC has been bringing the healing power of live and recorded music to VA health care facilities across the country. Through its unique programs, Musicians On Call uses volunteer guides and musicians to share their talents virtually and in-person. They use music as a universal language to bring joy, comfort and hope to Veteran patients, their family members and caregivers during their hospital experiences. To date, MOC volunteers have performed for more than 100,000 hospitalized Veterans all over the country.
“Laying in the VA hospital was feeling so bleak and so alone. Enter two folks from Musicians On Call and the fog lifted–music was fine–it was the enthusiasm and the joy with which we were serenaded. Thank you so very much!” said one Veteran at the West Roxbury VA Medical Center in Boston.
This year, Musicians On Call is once again hosting “Concert For Veterans,” a special virtual concert that bridges the gap between hospital walls and our nation’s celebration of Veterans Day. Hosted by Purple Heart recipient, Army Veteran and Black River Recording artist Scotty Hasting, the event will feature heartfelt messages of gratitude from popular artists and curated performances from the Grand Ole Opry stage. Tune in to see country music favorites like Craig Morgan, Scotty McCreery, Sara Evans, Dustin Lynch, Bellamy Brothers and more!
This concert will be available to stream through Nov. 25, 2024. Click the button below to watch the concert and use the passcode: veteran.
