The Hope Sessions

A 4th Chair Experience

The Hope Sessions is one of the most intimate songwriting and storytelling experiences in America.

Featuring Nashville's top songwriters, guests are taken behind the music as the writers share the stories, inspiration, and moments behind some of country music's biggest hits.

Paired with exceptional food, great drinks, and an unforgettable atmosphere, The Hope Sessions creates a unique evening where music, storytelling, and purpose come together.

At the center of every Hope Session are four chairs.

Three chairs are occupied by world-class songwriters.

The fourth chair remains empty.

That chair is reserved in honor of former college baseball player, country music artist, and ALS warrior Bryan Wayne Galentine.

It serves as a powerful reminder of those currently battling ALS, the families who walk alongside them, and the hope that continues to inspire us all.

4 Chairs.

3 Songwriters.

1 Mission.

To create hope, celebrate life, and help build a world without ALS.

Created by Matt Stillwell as an extension of the acclaimed Castle Sessions, The Hope Sessions benefits BEAT ALS and supports mobility initiatives, meaningful experiences, storytelling, and research in the fight against ALS.
