”The mental health crisis not only effects many of us individually, but also our families & our friends.

Being able to partner with Pro Football Hall of Famers while using my artist platform to help raise money for awareness and treatment is an honor.

Natalie Hemby
Grammy Award winner Natalie Hemby has become one of music’s defining songwriters with eight #1 singles including Lady Antebellum’s “Downtown,” Little Big Town’s “Pontoon” and “Tornado,” Miranda Lambert’s “White Liar” and “Automatic,” Justin Moore’s “You Look Like I Need A Drink,” and her most recent Jon Pardi’s “Heartache Medication.” She’s also written songs for Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Amy Grant, Eli Young Band, Rosi Golan, Toby Keith, Lee Ann Womack, Labrinth, Lucie Silvas, and many others.
“Automatic” earned Hemby a Grammy for Best Country Song in 2015. The hit also took home ACM Song of the Year honors the same year, as well as a NSAI Song of the Year win and a CMA Song of the Year nomination in 2014. In 2017 she released her first solo project entitled Puxico and opened for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on tour.
In 2019 Natalie scored two songs on the #1 album soundtrack to “A Star Is Born,” including “Always Remember Us This Way,” which was nominated for a 2020 Grammy for overall Song of the Year and “I’ll Never Love Again,” which won the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
In 2019 Natalie joined with Maren Morris, Brandi Carlisle and Amanda Shires to form the supergroup The Highwomen and released several tracks including “Redesigning Women” and “Crowded Table,” both co-written by Hemby. The group continues to receive world-wide critical acclaim for their self-entitled album, which debuted #1 on the country charts.
The culmination of her unparalleled journey is reflected on her brilliant sophomore record “Pins and Needles” released in 2021. This album finds Hemby reaching a pinnacle in her career after decades of establishing an incredible and versatile presence in the music industry – now with the record label deal she had dreamed of as an aspiring artist in her early 20’s.

It is truly a matter of life and death and I’m so glad there are organizations like Fund Recovery out there for the people who need them."
