Craig Campbell to Perform CreatiVets Song at Predators Game

Official Announcement | Published: Mar 19, 2026 2:59 PM EDT

(CEG) CreatiVets, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping combat-wounded veterans heal through music and the arts, has partnered with the Nashville Predators to create a meaningful tribute honoring a fallen hero from the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), known as the Night Stalkers. The partnership will be highlighted by a special performance from country music artist Craig Campbell during the Predators' game at Bridgestone Arena tonight, Thursday, March 19, 2026 as part of the team's Ford Military Salute Week.

Three weeks ago, CreatiVets brought their mobile songwriting studio to Bridgestone prior to the Predators' game at the arena. There, veteran participants Nando Martinez, Bryan Duhl, and Matt Chancey-all former pilots with the 160th SOAR-along with CreatiVets veteran mentor Seth Cole, collaborated with acclaimed hit songwriters Craig Campbell and Quinn Loggins.

The group wrote an original song titled "Taylor Made," a heartfelt tribute to their fallen brother, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Taylor J. Galvin. CW3 Galvin, assigned to Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 160th SOAR (Airborne) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, died from injuries while deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. A highly decorated combat veteran with nine deployments, Galvin served as an MH-60M pilot and exemplified the courage and dedication of the Night Stalkers.

The songwriting session provided a powerful, therapeutic outlet for the veterans to share stories, memories, and emotions connected to their service and their loss of Taylor Galvin. CreatiVets' program pairs veterans with professional songwriters to transform personal experiences into original music, fostering healing and connection.

Campbells performance of "Taylor Made" tomorrow will pay tribute to CW3 Galvin, the 160th SOAR, and all who serve and have served in the U.S. military.

"Partnering with the Nashville Predators to bring this song to life at Bridgestone Arena is an incredible honor," said Brett Gillan, CreatiVets program director. "Through music, we're able to keep Taylor's legacy alive, give a voice to his brothers-in-arms, and show our gratitude to the military community. We're grateful to Craig Campbell, Quinn Loggins, and the Predators for helping make this tribute possible."

The Nashville Predators proudly support military appreciation initiatives throughout the season, and Ford Military Salute Week highlights their commitment to honoring service members and their families.
