Lainey Wilson To Host All For The Hall Los Angeles Benefit For The Country Music Hall Of Fame And Museum

Wilson and friends to offer “guitar pull” performance on Sept. 17 to raise funds in support of the museum’s education programs

NASHVILLE, Tenn., and LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Aug. 12, 2026 – Hitmaking artist and songwriter Lainey Wilson will host a benefit in Los Angeles for the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum and its education programs. All for the Hall Los Angeles, presented by the Willard & Pat Walker Charitable Foundation, will feature a “guitar pull” performance — a Nashville tradition in which songwriters take turns performing while their fellow artists listen or add accompaniment. Wilson will take the stage with others to be announced. The event will take place on Thursday, Sept. 17, at The Novo in the L.A. Live complex.

“I’m so excited to host All for the Hall this fall,” said Wilson. “The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum does incredible work preserving the music we love and sharing it with the next generation, and it means a lot to me to support that mission. It’s going to be a special night, and I’m honored to be part of it.”

Tickets for this year’s benefit concert go on sale this Friday, Aug. 14, at 10 a.m. Pacific/noon Central, and can be purchased via TheNovoDTLA.com.

Proceeds from the event support the museum’s many educational offerings, including its flagship Words & Music® program, which promotes language arts and music by pairing professional songwriters with school classrooms to create original songs.

About All for the Hall
Launched in 2007, the All for the Hall campaign began with Country Music Hall of Fame member and Museum Board President Vince Gill challenging himself and his fellow artists to donate proceeds of one annual performance to the nonprofit museum. The concert series has rotated between New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. Keith Urban has hosted recurring All for the Hall benefit concerts in Nashville since 2009. In 2024, Blake Shelton hosted an All for the Hall benefit concert in Oklahoma. Funds raised from the events support the museum’s educational initiatives, which directly served more than 125,000 people last year through in-person and virtual programs.

About Words & Music
Designed for grades 3-12, Words & Music allows students to tell their stories by writing original song lyrics, while developing language arts and music skills. The program embraces and showcases country music’s legacy of songwriting and passes it down to the next generation of writers and thinkers. Through Words & Music, students interact with a professional songwriter, paired with their class, in an engaging performance workshop that transforms students’ lyrics into finished songs. Nearly 200,000 students have participated in the Words & Music program since its inception in 1979. More information on school programs and Words & Music can be found on the museum’s website.
