Reba McEntire is one of the most-loved women in country music. The fiery redhead brings a positive attitude to everything she does and has long made an impact on her fans worldwide.

Reba’s been successful in television as well with her long-running hit comedy Reba and now with Happy’s Place. In addition to her personal success, she makes a point of giving back to her community and the music industry as a whole.

Musicians On Call will honor Reba McEntire at an upcoming event in Nashville, along with other country stars.

According to Music Row, Reba McEntire will be honored with the Music Heals Golden Ukulele at the inaugural Music Heals Live! event at The Pinnacle in Nashville on May 20, 2026.

“Music Heals Live! is a national (or Nash-ional) celebration of Musicians On Call and the transformative power of music in healthcare across the country,” according to Charity Buzz.

“This is Musicians On Call’s grandest celebration yet, and with it we have the opportunity to showcase our national impact in our home base of Nashville, while honoring the devoted volunteers and partners who have helped us reach more than 1.25 million people with live music.”

Musicians On Call President & CEO Pete Griffin shared his thoughts with Music Row:

“It means a great deal to recognize the leadership of Reba McEntire and Mitch Glazier, whose dedication has helped bring comfort and connection to patients, families, and caregivers—and the volunteers who create moments of joy and healing.”

Musicians on Call began in 1999 as a way to bring music to extremely ill patients, so they could enjoy it in the comfort of their home or hospital room. The organization has grown into a powerful force for healing, touching lives across the nation.

Reba McEntire understands the power of music to heal, and this honor fits her spirit perfectly. Her decades-long career has been marked not just by chart-topping hits, but by genuine compassion and a commitment to lifting others up.

The upcoming celebration promises to be a special evening recognizing the transformative power of music and those who dedicate themselves to sharing it with people during their most vulnerable moments.
