We are excited to announce that USN’s annual Music Night — our beloved fundraiser supporting music, arts, and athletics programming across the school — will take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
This year’s Music Night will feature a very special performance by the legendary Rodney Crowell, one of the most respected and influential singer-songwriters in Americana music. A member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Crowell is a multi-GRAMMY® Award–winning artist whose songs have been recorded by icons such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, and Keith Urban. As a solo artist, he is known for his thoughtful storytelling, masterful songwriting, and ability to blend country, folk, and Americana into music that is both timeless and deeply personal.
Crowell’s work has earned widespread acclaim for its emotional depth, literary lyricism, and lasting cultural impact. Additionally, his children and grandchildren have attended USN through the years, making him a truly special headliner for an evening at USN. Click here for more information about Rodney.
We hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable night in support of arts and athletics at USN.
