Marty Stuart Enlists Keith Urban + More for Flood Relief ‘Jam’

When Marty Stuart kicks off this year's CMA Music Fest with his annual Late Night Jam, he'll be joined by Keith Urban, Ronnie Milsap, Connie Smith ... and according to Music Row, a few surprise guests representing the Country Music Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Marty's concert -- inspired by the free-wheeling format of his highly-rated 'The Marty Stuart Show' on RFD-TV -- kicks off at 10:00 PM (CST) on June 9 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. All proceeds will go to the MusiCares Nashville Flood Relief Fund.

"At the heart of the show is my love and respect for MusiCares," says Marty. "This year of all years, MusiCares is needed after the flood the city just experienced. I know of musicians who've lost their homes, vehicles, instruments ... and in a couple of instances, families. With that in mind, me and my friends are going to play our hearts out for our friends who are hurting and in need. I've called lots of numbers in my phone book and invited wonderful people to come and participate in the Late Night Jam. It's actually quite staggering who is coming."

To date, Marty Stuart's Late Night Jam concerts have raised over $150,000 for MusiCares.

Marty's RFD-TV series is the network's highest-rated show. Upcoming guests on the series include Merle Haggard, Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, Patty Loveless and Kitty Wells.

"Bringing traditional country music into homes across America is something I am honored and proud to be a part of," says Marty. "And to be able to recreate the styles and themes of our show on the Ryman stage, the epicenter of our country music heritage, is a dream. I created the 'Late Night Jam' in order to kick off country music's biggest week with a show unlike anything else that the fans would be able to see while they were in Nashville ... and the results have been legendary."

Marty will release his new album, 'Ghost Train: The Studio B Sessions,' this summer. Tickets for his June 9 'Late Night Jam' at the Ryman are available now at the Ryman website.
