More about Noah and the NoahBRAVE Foundation:
The NoahBRAVE Foundation was created in 2021 to honor the late Noah Evans of Franklin. Noah was diagnosed with a Diffuse Midline Glima (DMG) brain tumor when he was 12 years old. 16 months later after brain surgery, multiple rounds of chemo and radiation, Noah passed away. His parents created the foundation to honor their middle son and support families who are going through the same struggles as the Evans family did.
This type of childhood cancer is not very common, nor is it very known - Around 300 children receive this terminal diagnosis each year. Parents are told to take their child home and make as many memories as they can. Either one or both parents quit their jobs or work limited hours to spend what time they have left with their child, so finances are not their priority.
To help fill the gap, the NoahBRAVE Foundation helps these families pay their rent or mortgage, buy groceries, pay for utilities, help with transportation to doctor appointments, pay for funeral expenses, plus much more.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

More About A Nashville Night for NoahBRAVE
Meet ACM New Male Artist of the Year Nate Smith
Bursting onto the scene a few short years ago, country vocal powerhouse Nate Smith has accumulated over 1.7 billion career streams, scored three No. 1 records (“Whiskey on You,” “World on Fire” and “Bulletproof”), garnered multiple gold and platinum records, sold-out shows across the US and received numerous nominations for best new artist from the ACM Awards, CMT Awards, iHeart Radio Awards and so many more. Most recently, Smith received the award for ACM New Male Artist of the Year, Billboard’s Rookie of the Year and Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist for 2024. His sophomore album, California Gold, will be released on October 4th.
Since making it to Nashville, the singer’s “powerhouse tenor” has become “perhaps country music’s fastest-rising beloved voice” (The Tennessean). He’s made a huge splash with songs such as his platinum-certified multi-week No. 1 hit “Whiskey On You,” has over 500 million streams globally and second single, “World On Fire” reached No. 1 on the country radio charts in December and remained at the top of the charts for a record breaking ten consecutive weeks. This feat marks Smith as the first artist to achieve this run with a second single at country radio and consecutive week run. The song also hit No. 1 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart for three weeks. Only 19 songs went No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in 2023, two of which belong to Smith. Both singles are featured on Smith’s self-titled debut album which debuted Top 10 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart.
The ACM Award winner just wrapped a major stadium tour with Morgan Wallen and has toured alongside Thomas Rhett and Cole Swindell. Nate is managed by Kevin “Chief” Zaruk and Simon Tikhman with The Core Entertainment.
