The 1st Music for the Gut was held in 2011 with concert founder, Jordie Hughton, and 17 friends performing at Grace Westminster United Church.
In 2018, for our 8th annual concert, nearly 900 patrons thoroughly enjoyed 56 talented performers for a fabulous evening on the big stage of TCU Place!
We are thankful for over 250 performers and crew who have dedicated their time and talents to our concerts since 2011, when Music for the Gut was founded by the Hughton family. Three members of the Hughton family live with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, as do many of our performers and crew.
