Musicians on Call (MOC), a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities, is celebrating 20 years of delivering the healing power of music with a star-studded night in the city where it all began – New York!

Charles Esten has conquered TV, film, comedy and theatre, and he's now taken his brand of country music to the UK.

There’s a very good chance that when Charles Esten signed up to be one of the leads on Country Music drama Nashville, he had no idea how much it was going to change his life. Already an established actor and comedian, Esten acquired an army of fans for his portrayal of Deacon Claybourne on the show. Even the show had a rocky road during its early seasons, it ran for six seasons and gave Esten and other key members of the cast an opportunity to tour across the world to play the songs from the show live for fans.
