Hendersonville, TN — Half Batch Brewing is proud to announce the successful conclusion of The Best Voice of Hendersonville, a live band karaoke competition that brought together music, community, and purpose. Over four sold-out nights with standing room only, more than 38 contestants and 12 celebrity judges took the stage, making this event an unforgettable celebration of local talent.

The competition raised $5,000 for Grace Place Ministry, supporting their mission to empower single mothers and their children toward healthy, safe, and independent lives in the local community.

On Friday, February 13th, Rick Emerson was voted the winner, earning the grand prize of two roundtrip airfare tickets within the US and the opportunity to perform at halftime during a Nashville SC game.

Nate Newton, founder of Half Batch Brewing, shared:
"This event exceeded our expectations—the talented singers, the outpouring of the community supporting such a great cause, this is what Half Batch Brewing is all about. Thank you to everyone in making this a success."

Desneige Bourret, founder of Grace Place Ministry, added:
"We are so grateful to Half Batch Brewing for choosing Grace Place as the recipient charity of The Best Voice of Hendersonville contest. What a beautiful way to use creativity, community, and local talent to make a lasting impact on families working toward independence. Because of your generosity, single mothers and their children are moving closer to safe housing, stability, and a future filled with hope. Thank you for turning great beer and music into momentum for change right here in Hendersonville."

This year’s event was made possible by the generous support of our sponsors: Tenn Properties (Title Sponsor), Nashville SC (Presenting Sponsor), Lightning 100 Radio (Media Sponsor), First Horizon Advisors (Celebrity Judge Sponsor), and Cheeky Pete’s Tavern.
