Discover what’s ahead for Barrett’s headlining debut in Nashville and the meaningful cause the show is championing.
Gabby Barrett is just days away from her headlining debut in Nashville, a moment she’s been dreaming of since moving to the city five years ago. To make this milestone even more special, the American Idol alum has committed to donating the proceeds to the Murphslife Foundation.
Gabby Barrett’s Giving For Good show will take place at the CMA Theater inside the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on November 13. Ticket buyers will be contributing to the Murphslife Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Aaron Murphy in 2020.
“I’m so excited. I’ve lived in Nashville for the past five years and just appreciate the warm hug that I’ve gotten from the folks here. It feels more like a family. And so I’m excited to be able to perform here for everybody and hopefully put on a good show and for a good cause. So, it’s an exciting time for me for sure,” Barrett shared with Country Now.
The songstress went on to share why she chose the Murphslife Foundation as the beneficiary for this special event. She explained that she discovered Murphy’s charitable work while scrolling through her Instagram explorer page and was immediately moved by the way people from around the world were uniting to make a difference in the lives of families struggling with poverty.
“It was kind of like a random thing one day. It moved me when I watched it. From the second I started watching, I was hooked. I think it’s beautiful,” Gabby Barrett explained. “He’s built this massive social media presence through people’s donations from all over the world, and he shows what those donations are doing for others. I love that he doesn’t make the social media about himself, like, ‘Oh, look at what I’m doing for people.’ Instead, he always highlights the people who are donating, which I find really genuine and kind.”
She recalled a particular video that deeply impacted her, showing people who were forced to sleep on the ground due to a lack of proper housing, struggling just to get by. Then, Murphy came into their lives, providing them with furniture, groceries, and essential items to turn their house into a home, along with the resources to help them start their own businesses.
“He’ll buy whatever, a food truck or this or that, to supply them with a better job so they can earn a better income for their family. So it’s really beautiful what he does,” shared the Pennsylvania native. “We’re really thankful to be able to donate to them this year. I was really moved by them, and I’m just excited to do that and give to those people who really need it, especially in the El Salvador area.”
