Additional performers will be announced in the coming weeks. Established in 1996, the Concert for Cumberland Heights benefits the John Hiatt Fund for Adolescent and Young Adult Treatment, which supports programs and patient scholarship assistance at Cumberland Heights. Over the past three decades, the concert has raised millions of dollars to help teenagers, young adults and their families find hope and healing from addiction. This year's dual milestones, 30 years of the concert and 60 years of Cumberland Heights, make the tribute to Hiatt even more meaningful given his own longstanding connection to the organization's mission.
