Voices for Children 2026
VOICES FOR CHILDREN 2026Presented by 
Thursday, May 7, 2026 | 6:30 – 9:30 PM | Historic Franklin Theatre, Franklin, TN
Every child deserves a voice. On May 7th, you can help make sure they have one.
Williamson County CASA’s annual Voices for Children fundraiser returns to the Historic Franklin Theatre for an evening you won’t want to miss — featuring live music from Nashville’s own Matt Maeson, a live auction, and the chance to stand up for nearly 400 children in our county who’ve experienced abuse or neglect.
Your ticket — and your presence — means everything to the children we serve.
About the Artist: Matt Maeson
Matt Maeson makes songs for those moments when you need them the most. No matter how fast life goes, he can get a grip on it and slow it down just enough to sing about it. The Virginia-born and Nashville-based multiplatinum singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist transforms complicated feelings, uneasy thoughts, and self-doubt into arrestingly catchy alternative anthems anchored by relatable and raw emotion.
Throughout the last decade, Matt has documented life’s twists and turns on tape. In 2019, he struck a chord and made history with his first LP, Bank on the Funeral. The album’s two Platinum-certified singles—“Cringe” and “Hallucinogenics” [feat. Lana Del Rey]—each climbed to #1 at Alternative, elevating him as “the first ever male solo artist to log two #1 Alternative hits from a full-length debut LP.” On its heels, 2022’s Never Had To Leave incited critical acclaim from American Songwriter, Consequence of Sound, and more.
He emerged as the rare talent equally comfortable supporting Zach Bryan in arenas or lending his voice to tracks alongside Gryffin, Illenium, and Chelsea Cutler. He also embarked on the sold-out acoustic That’s My Cue Tour captured on his 2024 live record, That’s My Cue: A Solo Experience. Along the way, Matt got married, moved from Austin to Nashville, and became a dad. He processes all of these pivotal changes out loud on his third full-length offering, A Quiet and Harmless Living [Atlantic Records]. By doing so, he taps into the sound of growing and finding balance with his most vulnerable and vital body of work yet.
