J. Whitty & The Xmas Cowboys: Rob Janson, Whit Morgan and Nathan Brown
The holiday season is a time of giving and jolly deeds. J. Whitty and the Xmas Cowboys, a group from Murfreesboro dedicated to spreading joy and raising funds for local charities, will perform a concert to benefit the Isaiah 117 House of Rutherford County this season. The event will start at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 7 at Luna’s Night Club.
The dinner and show’s musical plate will provide a taste of varying flavors such as Americana, classic rock and offbeat Christmas music. As for the meal, The Alley on Main will provide a menu of some popular dishes from their restaurant. Dinner is factored into the ticket price of about $50, and additional bar service is available.
All funds raised will directly benefit Isaiah 117 House of Rutherford County, part of a larger organization that seeks to provide comfort to children who have been removed from their homes.
Isaiah 117 House got its namesake from the verse Isaiah 1:17 where the Bible says “defend the fatherless,” essentially what the organization intends to do in their several house locations in multiple states.
Instead of waiting up to several days in child welfare services offices awaiting foster placements, Isaiah 117 House invites children into a safe home environment with volunteers, clean clothes, toys, snacks, beds and books.
Their mission is to “reduce trauma for children awaiting placement, lighten the load for child welfare services and ease the transition for foster families.”
Aside from this benefit concert, the Isaiah 117 House of Rutherford County accepts donations and volunteers year-round. For more information on Isaiah 117 House of Rutherford County visit facebook.com/isaiah117rutherfordcounty.
In 2022, J. Whitty & The Xmas Cowboys presented a holiday benefit concert for Stepping Stones Safe Haven, and band members say they want to continue the theme of addressing real-world issues in our local community with this year’s fundraiser for Isaiah 117 House.
