Huntsville Hospital Foundation’s 32nd annual Huntsville Classic featured Anderson East, with performances by Joy Oladokun and Briston Maroney. The virtual concert was May 14. The Foundation hosted a drive-through dinner at John Hunt Park before the concert.

The concert was a unique opportunity for ticket holders to see three powerful artists from the comfort of their own homes. East, an Athens, Ala. native has been on the rise since his first major-label album in 2015. He received a 2019 GRAMMY-Award nomination for his song “All on my Mind.” Oladokun is a singer-songwriter who recently performed on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and The Today Show. Maroney has performed at South by Southwest and the Austin City Limits Music Festival. His songs have been streamed millions of times, and the majority of his 2021 performances are now sold out.

All proceeds supported the needs of not-for-profit Huntsville Hospital, Madison Hospital, and Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children through Huntsville Hospital Foundation. n
