On Friday, April 24, in the midst of the COVID-19 Crisis, Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic was blessed to be the beneficiary of a concert by local band Monroeville<\/a>. A talented rock alternative bluegrass group well-known throughout East Tennessee, the band is fronted by Grammy-nominated Matt Munsey and his wife Brittany; the ensemble also features McCoy Borg, Chevy Watson, and Kyle Dillow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by Ole Smoky Moonshine, the band played a set in familiar surroundings, the Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery in Gatlinburg.  Due to current social distancing regulations, their only physically close audience was the camera crew, members of OSM management, and the carefully stocked walls of the space where they played, but virtually, their music reached far and wide.  Broadcast on Ole Smoky Distillery\u2019s Facebook page, the performance has been viewed more than 44,000 times as of the writing of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In breaks during the performance, Matt spoke about Mountain\nHope Good Shepherd Clinic and the ways in which the Clinic serves those in the\narea without medical insurance.  He also\nrequested that viewers of the broadcast donate money and goods including\npersonal protective equipment to the Clinic. \nThe viewing audience responded generously to his plea, with dozens\nmaking donations online to Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic.  The money raised will help the Clinic\ncontinue to see those who might not otherwise be able to afford a medical visit\ndue to loss of work or benefits during this crucial time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In yet another act of generosity, the band donated their\npayment for the evening to the Clinic. \u201cMonroeville was honored to share our\ngifts during this fundraiser so Mountain Hope Good Shepherd Clinic can share\ntheir gifts.  They have been serving our\ncommunity for twenty-one years helping many low-income, self-employed, and\nmusicians like us get the healthcare they need,\u201d Munsey said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
