On November 30, Kid Rock, Chris Stapleton, Travis Tritt, Larry the

at his 80th Birthday Volunteer Jam at Bridgestone Arena. Since 1974,
Volunteer Jam has been raising money and giving back while entertaining
the masses along the way. This year’s event will benefit The Journey
Home Project, a non-profit organization founded by Daniels, his manager
David Corlew as well as some of their friends to support Veterans of the
United States Armed Forces. Tickets for the much anticipated event can
be purchased HERE.
Earlier this month, Daniels was inducted to the Country Music Hall of
Fame, along with Randy Travis and Fred Foster, in a ceremony that
included Trisha Yearwood, Andrea Zonn, Trace Adkins, Jamey Johnson and
Brenda Lee all paying tribute to the fiddling legend. The Country Music
Hall of Fame and Museum pre-empted that major honor with the opening of
an exhibit in his honor called Million Mile Reflections.
Charlie’s newest album Night Hawk was recently released in the midst of one of the most important years of his career. Night Hawk
is a reflection of stories from the trail told by cowboys around the
campfire through the years. USA Today says, “Daniels further bucks
modern trends by honoring an often neglected branch in country’s family
tree.” Night Hawk continues to prove that Charlie’s sound is one of a
kind.

About Charlie Daniels
With a career spanning over 50 years and exceeding 20 million in sales worldwide Charlie Daniels
is the quintessential Southerner with a healthy dose of Wild West
Cowboy. For decades, he has connected with his millions of fans in the
varying genres of music that reflect his steadfast refusal to label his
music as anything other than the “Charlie Daniels Band” sound — music
that is now sung around the fire at 4-H Club and scout camps, helped
elect an American President, and been popularized on a variety of radio
formats. Having celebrated multiple GRAMMY® Awards, CMA Awards, ACM
Awards, BMI Awards, GMA Dove Awards, CCMA Awards, his list of accolades
is broad; the latest being induction in to the Country Music Hall of
Fame. Six of his albums have been RIAA Certified Multi-Platinum® and he
has achieved a platinum-selling single in his iconic fiddle-ridden hit,
“Devil Went Down To Georgia.” An outspoken American Patriot and strong
supporter of the U.S. Military, Daniels’ talked-about Volunteer Jam
concerts are world-famous musical extravaganzas featuring artists like
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent, Trace Adkins, Alabama and others, all on one
stage for one purpose – to raise funds for our U.S. Military. His 40th
Anniversary Volunteer Jam held in 2015 raised over $300,000 for The
Journey Home Project, a non-profit veterans assistance organization
which he co-founded. For more information on Charlie Daniels, please
