Chase Rice with very special guest Clayton Anderson
Overview
Multi-platinum country music superstar Chase Rice along with very special guest Clayton Anderson will headline an unforgettable concert for a cause. The 17th annual Evening of Inspiration: Chasing A Cure fuels the fight against Huntington’s Disease, presented by the Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation which has donated more than $3.6 million toward research to date.
“The Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation is absolutely thrilled to bring the community together for our 17th Annual Evening of Inspiration,” said Lisa Rump, TBHHDF Gala Committee Co-Chair. “Each year, this event reminds us what is possible when hope, music and purpose meet. We are deeply grateful to Chase Rice, Clayton Anderson and every supporter who stands beside us in the fight to find a cure for Huntington’s Disease. Together, we are not just raising funds—we are fueling real progress, honoring families affected and moving one step closer to the future Bev dreamed of.”
Few artists have had the enduring impact on country music Chase Rice can claim – and fewer still possess the courage to leave it in the past, and blaze a new trail. A true singer-songwriter with success in both disciplines, Rice’s 15-year career has taken the Florida-born North Carolina native to chart peaks and global stages, but with his eighth studio album, ELDORA, his only destination is the American West. A 10x Platinum artist who burst onto the country scene as a Diamond certified songwriter (“Cruise”), while hits like “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and “Eyes On You” helped Rice post two No. 1’s at Country Radio, igniting a movement through chest-thumping euphoria and bold romantic passion. He sold out international tours and shared stadium billing with Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney, before leaving the major label system for good. Now, with full independence and over 3 billion streams to his credit, ELDORA signals Rice’s dedication to the storytelling craft. Written in Colorado and inspired by a hidden mountainside town, the 12-song set is easily the most raw, unguarded expression of Rice’s talent to date – born in the afterglow of an epic show at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Working hand-in-hand with co-writer/producer Oscar Charles, Rice adopts the unfiltered, rough-hewn approach of an off-the-grid maverick, both embodying the Western mystique, and boldly going where few of his stature would dare.
Clayton Anderson is a product of his Midwest upbringing: a hard-working, salt of the earth, country singer-songwriter from the heartland who grew up fishing, boating, and playing his guitar on the lakes of Southern Indiana. Inspired by his home state music heroes – John Mellencamp, John Hiatt, and Michael Jackson – Anderson set off on a music career, building a grassroots following playing the frat circuit at Indiana University. In 2008, he won Kenny Chesney’s Next Big Star battle of the bands. After moving to Nashville, he released a series of albums: Torn Jeans & Tailgates (2011), Right Where I Belong (2014), Only to Borrow (2016), and a lineup of singles. He performed alongside the Zac Brown Band at the Indy 500 and opened for Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Jimmy Buffett, Thomas Rhett, Lee Brice, and Carly Pearce. During the covid shutdown, Anderson performed with the Bud Light Dive Bar Tour: Home Edition alongside Jake Owen, Dierks Bentley, OneRepublic, and more before teaming with sponsors for socially-distanced Lake Tour concerts. In 2022, Anderson released and landed high-profile placements for a string of singles including “Nothin’ But Net” (produced by Grammy winner Dave Audé and as heard on ESPN for Men’s College Basketball Season), “Get After It” (Ford’s Spring Truck Month Campaign and ESPN Men's Baseball Season), and “Show Me Your Fish” (Major League Fishing’s REDCREST 2022); hit the road for another summer tour; and released Made In The USA, his most introspective album yet. He kicked off 2023 with the release of his anthemic new track, “Gotta Get Up,” which was picked up by ESPN for the network’s College Baseball season.
The Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the eradication of Huntington’s Disease (HD). Founded in 2011, the Foundation operates on a three-pronged mission: to educate the community, fund innovative research, and maintain the belief that a cure is within reach. The Foundation was inspired by the courage of Bev Hartig, who responded to her own HD diagnosis by rallying her community to turn a personal challenge into a global mission. From its inaugural fundraiser in 2010—which raised a remarkable $88,000 in a single evening—the Foundation has grown into a major benefactor for the scientific community. By identifying and funding researchers who utilize cutting-edge approaches to gene therapy and neurobiology, TBHHDF ensures that every dollar raised moves the needle closer to a cure. As of December 2025, the Foundation has awarded more than $3.6 million to world-class Huntington’s research. Through its annual gala and community initiatives TBHHDF continues to honor Bev’s dream of a world free from the shadow of Huntington’s Disease.
