Toby Keith, Blake Shelton + More Join Nashville Rising Event
Nashville Rising, the upcoming benefit concert hosted by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to raise money for flood relief in Music City, has just added even more star power to an already stellar line-up.
Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry, ZZ Top, Billy Ray Cyrus, Julie Roberts and Blake Shelton will be hitting the stage that evening. They join a previously announced list of performers which includes LeAnn Rimes, Brooks & Dunn, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, Amy Grant, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Luke Bryan and several more.
Country music artists have been working tirelessly to help in the recovery efforts following the tragic flood in Nashville last month, which resulted in the devastation of thousands of homes, and cost the city more than $1.5 billion. Vince Gill hosted a telethon that raised more than $1.7 million.
Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, James Otto, Martina McBride and Lady Antebellum were just a few of the artists who participated in GAC's telethon, raising more than $1.6 million. Darius Rucker and Kix Brooks each performed their own benefit concerts, while Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Taylor Swift, plus many more, made large donations to aid in recovery efforts.
Nashville Rising will be held on Tuesday, June 22 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. The event is sold-out although a limited number of VIP packages are available. Click here for more information.
