"Every day, our team has the privilege of offering a safe and confidential space for artists to be off-stage and deal with the issues they face," shares Porter’s Call founder Al Andrews. "Thanks to the sponsors and others who support and attend our annual event and believe in the art, wellness, and health of artists, we pride ourselves on creating a hope-filled event that is not just talent-packed but heart-changing. By being a part of ‘Evening of Stories,’ you can become a part of the larger story with us. We hope to see you there to share in an amazing evening at a world-class venue."
