Farm Aid 40, the concert to assist American farmers, has announced that country stars Kenny Chesney, Wynonna and Steve Earle would be joining the growing list of performers for the upcoming day-long benefit. This year’s concert will be held at Huntington Rock Stadium in Minneapolis on September 20th. Chesney’s Farm Aid appearances generally coincided with the concert’s big anniversaries; of his three previous Farm Aid performances, two (2005 and 2010) were for the 20th and 25th anniversaries, respectively (his third was in 2006). This will be Earle’s ninth Farm Aid performance, and Wynonna’s first. Other artists scheduled to appear include Willie Nelson, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews with Tim Reynolds, Margo Price, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Trampled by Turtles, Waxahatchee, Eric Burton of Black Pumas, Jesse Welles, Madeline Edwards and Wisdom Indian Dancers.

Earlier this month, we told you that George Strait was organizing a benefit for Texas flood victims called “Strait From The Heart.” Sunday night, the all-star concert brought in big names and, more importantly, big bucks. With appearances by Strait, William Beckmann, Ray Benson, Wade Bowen, Dean Dillon, Riley Green, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Kyle Park and Hudson Westbrook, the event was a massive success, bringing in $6.25-million. It most likely would have been a home run anyway, but it certainly didn’t hurt that Garth Brooks made a surprise appearance. Garth performed his hits “(Much Too Young) To Feel This Damn Old” and “The Dance,” to help make the evening a huge success.

Chris Stapleton just premiered a new song, but you won’t find it on any of his albums…at least not yet. The singer was a special guest star on “Sesame Street” recently, where he sang for the Muppets that live there and the kids watching at home. In the episode, Stapleton tells kids that “music is the universal language.” Abby Cadabby says, “He’s teaching us all about music and friends,” to which the singer responds, “That’s right, Abby,” before breaking into “You’ve Got a Friend in Music,” joined by Abby, Elmo, Grover, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie.

Congratulations to Zac Brown and Kendra Scott…the couple are engaged! The singer and the jewelry designer hard-launched their relationship at the American Music Awards in May. The couple told “People” magazine, “We are so happy and grateful that we found each other.” When they do eventually tie the knot, their blended family will be huge: they are each parents, and between them have eight children ranging in age from 11 to 23

Post Malone has scored a legal victory in his child custody case with ex-GF Hee Sung “Jamie” Park. Park has dropped a court petition that sought to move their three-year-old daughter from Utah to California against the singer’s wishes. According to “Billboard,” Park had been seeking to take primary custody of the child in Los Angeles, where she moved after splitting from Malone last fall. Posty, however, brought his own custody case in Utah, where he says their daughter has lived most of her life and should remain. The Cailifornia case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be re-filed. Still, the two will continue to litigate their custody battle in Utah, though court records there are sealed.
