The energy was electric in The Ryman Auditorium as Breland and Friends was back for its second year to support the Oasis Center, a local Nashville charity serving youth.
Breland brought everyone from rising country stars, Nate Smith and Alana Springsteen, to established stars like Tyler Hubbard and Sam Hunt. He also brought more than country to the table with Christian hip-hop legend, Lacrae, and R&B icon, K. Michelle, who has been working on a country project and made a recent stop at The Bluebird Cafe, a fact Breland alluded to when he welcomed her onstage.
The special guest was banjo-wielding, Keith Urban, who collaborated with Breland on Throw It Back.
While the night was mostly a celebration of music, the recent shooting at Covenant School in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville was the centerpiece during the presentation from The Oasis Center, as well as Breland asking for a moment of silence in honor of the victims.
Sponsors included Amazon, Kroger, Dollar General, Neon Coast and Nashville Soccer Club.
