Grammy-nominated
and Dove Award winning artist Ty Herndon created the Concert for Love
& Acceptance, when his 20th anniversary fan club party turned into a
coalition of artists gathering in support of Nashville’s at-risk youth.
The driving force behind the benefit is Herndon’s desire to foster
positive cultural change and encourage Nashville’s youth to live to
their fullest potential.
In
November of 2014, Ty Herndon became the first major male country artist
to publicly come out as gay. Shortly after, he made history when he
hosted this first-of-its-kind event, The Concert for Love &
Acceptance. The event received national attention from Boston Globe,
Rolling Stone, Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine and more. A
philanthropist at heart, Herndon has also donated his time to
organizations such as the Trevor Project, Make A Wish, St. Jude, GLAAD,
HRC and Feed the Children.
