Award-winning Gospel artist Joseph Habedank is set to take the stage at Nashville, Tennessee’s historic Ryman Auditorium for The Concert for Cumberland Heights: A Night of Stories and Songs, taking place Wednesday, October 29. For Habedank, the event carries deep personal meaning.

The annual concert raises funds for Cumberland Heights, a respected addiction treatment facility where Habedank received care over a decade ago. Reflecting on the upcoming performance, he called the opportunity both humbling and fulfilling.

“So this is kind of a bucket list thing for me, not just that it’s the Ryman, but that the concert takes place every single year,” Habedank shared. “Cumberland Heights is actually the treatment facility, the rehab that I went to when I got clean and sober about 13 years ago.”

Since overcoming addiction, Habedank has become an outspoken advocate for recovery and faith-based resilience, using his music to inspire others walking a similar path. His song The Basement, written about recovery meetings and personal healing, will be featured during the event.

“I’m so honoured and excited to be a part of this special night,” he said, expressing gratitude to the organization that played a pivotal role in his journey.

The concert brings together artists and storytellers dedicated to supporting the mission of Cumberland Heights, ensuring that individuals and families continue to have access to life-changing treatment and hope.
