Benefit Concert Set For June 2nd
Gabe Lee, the Nashville singer-songwriter known for his warm vocals and community spirit, has called on his fellow artists and fans to come together on June 2 to support his friends Vinnie and Erin as they navigate cancer treatment and recovery. In an Instagram post on @mistergabelee’s feed, Lee wrote:
“June 2nd, an assembly of Nashville voices are coming together in support and admiration of our brother Vinnie and his wife Erin, as their family navigates cancer, treatments and road toward recovery. they are members of our community that wouldn’t hesitate to do the same for us. I hope you’ll check out the aid link in my stories, attend the event if possible, and keep these good folks on your hearts and minds.”
The post included an eye-catching flyer—Lee stands beside a colorful poster listing performers, venue details and a QR code linking to a fund-raising page. Proceeds from ticket sales and donations will go toward medical bills, travel expenses and home care as Vinnie and Erin pursue treatments.
Artist’s Nashville Roots Shine Through
Lee’s appeal isn’t the first time the city has seen him rally the community. In an earlier Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ4aJvLOB91/), he teased a special “listening room lunch hour” during CMA Fest weekend, inviting some of “my favorite Nashville voices” into an intimate showcase. That event sold out in minutes—proof that Lee’s fan base responds to both his music and his heart for Nashville’s tight-knit scene.
A History Of Community Causes
Beyond songwriting and surprise pop-up shows, Lee has lent his platform to other local initiatives. Last year, he championed the Hello in There Foundation’s Healing Appalachia program, posting backstage photos from a benefit at City Winery Nashville tied to Tyler Childers’ Hope in the Hills. Fans recall Lee urging donations “in conjunction with @ohboyrecords and @healingappalachia” to aid those battling addiction in the region.
He’s even taken the stage at the Grand Ole Opry; after his debut, Lee shared a celebratory photo dump, thanking the venue “for giving me the opportunity to rep my people, my team, and my music. Sorry if my green room was too loud—pls invite us back.” It’s that blend of humility and hustle that has endeared him to peers like Morgan Wade, Willie Jones, King Margo and dozens more who’ve appeared alongside him in Nashville listening rooms and songwriter rounds.
What’s Next For Gabe Lee
Fans looking to catch Lee in a more conventional concert setting have plenty to look forward to. In an April announcement (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJHlparOijq/), Lee revealed he’ll co-headline The Ark in Ann Arbor on September 6 with fellow Nashville alum King Margo. The show marks Lee’s debut at the storied folk venue—another milestone for an artist still forging his path.
Meanwhile, the June 2 benefit for Vinnie and Erin relies on every ticket sold and every donation shared. Lee’s Stories link provides all details—ticket tiers, performance lineup and virtual attendance options. Whether you’ve followed his career since CMA Fest listening rooms or you’re just discovering his songs online, Lee’s message is clear: when Music City family calls, you answer.
As Nashville prepares to unite on June 2, Gabe Lee’s invitation doubles as a reminder that behind every artist is a community ready to give back—to friends like Vinnie and Erin and to the spirit of mutual care that defines this town. Mark your calendars, buy your tickets and keep two more names on your hearts as they battle cancer together.
