On Thursday evening, the 21st District Recovery Court (Recovery Court) hosted its 3rd annual singer-songwriter night, The Stories Behind the Songs, at the Franklin Theatre.

Throughout the evening, there were stories behind the songs as Jessi Alexander performed “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” a song written by Alexander, Luke Combs, and Johnathan Singleton. Alexander also performed “The Way I Talk” a Morgan Wallen’s debut single that appeared his album If I Know Me.
Jelly Roll performed “Need a Favor,” which topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock airplay and country airplay charts, and “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”
The Warren Brothers, who have amassed a long list of songwriting credits with artists, performed “That’s When,” a song on Taylor Swift’s Fearless album written by the Warren Brothers along with Swift when she was 14.The duo also brought out the classic “Red Solo Cup” a song recorded by Toby Keith.
All proceeds from the event go directly to support Recovery Court’s 22-year mission to end the cycle of addiction and crime in our community by providing accountability and compassion to non-violent offenders in the criminal justice system.
