Nashville, TN – October 20, 2017 – Country Music’s star-studded benefit concert COUNTRY RISING has added Bobby Bones, from iHeartMedia’s nationally syndicated “The Bobby Bones Show,” as the host for the benefit concert at Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 12. Tickets and VIP packages for the event will now go on sale TODAY at 10:00A CT on www.Ticketmaster.com.
COUNTRY RISING will include performances by Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Sam Hunt, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Chris Stapleton, George Strait, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. Proceeds will benefit The Country Rising Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, which was established to support charitable initiatives to help victims of the September 2017 hurricanes — Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria. Additionally, the fund will now also envelop victims of the recent shooting in Las Vegas. In the course of rebuilding lives disrupted by these devastating events, there are immediate needs and there also will be long-term needs. This fund will strategically support both as they emerge.
