“Country
fans are the best, and when their friends need help, they show up,”
said Bentley. “This is my hometown, and I feel a huge pull to go back
and be there with them and do what I can to help. I’ve had some friends
speak up and say they wanted to come help, so we’re going to put
together a special night of music, raise some money and hopefully leave
these families and this community with some positive memories.”

classic country, bluegrass and rock, maintaining an unmistakable
