COUNTRY ARTISTS CONTINUE TO HELP WITH TORNADO RELIEF EFFORTS

Country Artists Continue To Help With Tornado Relief Efforts

The country community continues to do their part to help out those affected by the tornados that hit Nashville and other parts of Tennessee earlier this week.

Yesterday, CMT teamed with the American Red Cross to host a telethon with artist like Charles Kelly, Dave Haywood, Kid Rock, Travis Denning Blanco Brown, Cassadee Pope and Gavin DeGraw, among others lending their support, with all proceeds going to relief efforts.

Taylor Swift donated $1 million to the the Middle Tennessee Emergency Response Fund.

Dan + Shay also opened their wallets to help the tornado relief efforts, donating $100,000 to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “We are heartbroken by the devastation the tornadoes left upon Tennessee earlier this week,” they share. “We are so proud to call Nashville our home, and have seen first hand that this community is strong, resilient, and compassionate.”

They add, “What this town does best in times of need, is come together.” The duo’s tour starts tonight at Bridgestone Arena and they share, “through the power of music, we will all unite to celebrate the spirit of our incredible city.”

LeeAnn Womack shared on Twitter that she was dropping off supplies, like blankets, noting other things that were needed include Flashlights, batteries, hygiene items and more.
Nashville is obviously a big music town, and Gibson is pitching in to help out those who may have lost instruments in the devastation. They have pledged to donate guitars to any musician that lost theirs. They need to apply to the Gibson Gives Guitar Recovery Plan via email, to donation.request@gibson.com, with details of their situation.
