Songwriters Night

Love Builds Here

Join us for an unforgettable evening of live music, community, and purpose at Songwriters Night, a special benefit supporting Habitat for Humanity of Putnam. Set against the backdrop of an early spring sunset, this intimate gathering celebrates Georgia music, rural roots, and the power of home — all while bringing people together in support of safe, affordable homeownership for local families.

An Evening of Music & Meaning

Hosted at the Barn at Briarpatch Farm, Songwriters Night features a songwriter-style performance by acclaimed country music songwriters Josh Phillips, Trent Tomlinson, and Wynn Varble.

Through live music and storytelling, the evening offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the songs and stories that have shaped modern country music, all in a relaxed, farm-style setting.

Why It Matters

Proceeds from Songwriters Night directly benefit Habitat for Humanity of Putnam, supporting our mission to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through homeownership.

Your ticket or table purchase helps fund safe, affordable housing opportunities for local families — building more than houses, but long-term opportunity and hope right here in Putnam County.
