Gloria Johnson, a member of the famous 'Tennessee Three,' is making waves in her campaign for the U.S. Senate this fall with the support of a powerful choir behind her. Led by Grammy-winning singer Allison Russell, more than 30 artists have come together to record 'Tennessee Rise,' an anthem advocating for social justice and equality in the state, with Johnson's candidacy at the forefront.
The Tennessee Freedom Singers, as they are collectively known, include a star-studded lineup of singers such as Brittany Howard, Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, and Maren Morris, among others. The song, penned by Russell and her husband JT Nero, features poignant lyrics referencing current social issues, including the aftermath of the tragic Covenant School shooting in March 2023.
