3 DOORS DOWN JOIN CHRIS STAPLETON, KID ROCK, LARRY THE CABLE GUY, LUKE BRYAN AND TRAVIS TRITT TO FINISH OUT LINEUP FOR CHARLIE DANIELS 80TH BIRTHDAY VOLUNTEER JAM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (September 28, 2016) – American Rock Band 3 Doors Down have been added as the final artist to join Chris Stapleton, Kid Rock, Larry The Cable Guy, Luke Bryan and Travis Tritt to celebrate with Charlie Daniels at his 80th Birthday Volunteer Jam on November 30 at Bridgestone Arena.

3 Doors Down, a Grammy Award®-nominated multiplatinum Mississippi
rock band known for hits like “Kryptonite,” “When I’m Gone,” “Here
Without You” and more will join Daniels on stage for what will be
remembered as one of the best Volunteer Jams to date. Tickets for the
much anticipated event are on sale now at all Ticketmaster locations and the Bridgestone Arena Box Office. Ticket prices start at $25.00.

After a star-studded 40th Anniversary Volunteer Jam last year, this
year’s celebration event will feature The Charlie Daniels Band and a
select bunch of their favorite musicians and entertainers on stage for
an exhilarating event for the ages. Since 1974, Daniels has commissioned
his musical friends and peers to come together on a “volunteer” basis
to hang out, “jam” together, and entertain crowds in an unconventional,
laid-back fashion unknown to any other concert event — all while
dedicating concert proceeds to worthy causes. This year’s event will
feature extra special “jam” sessions with some of Charlie’s most
prolific friends who want to celebrate the soon-to-be Country Music Hall
of Famer, his birthday, and his many accomplishments.

“I am extremely humbled and excited for this year’s Volunteer Jam. I
think the fans are going to get a great variety of music from rock to
country to southern rock with this stellar lineup, which reminds me so
much of some of the early ‘Jams’ that we held at Municipal Auditorium,”
says Charlie Daniels. “We are also going to be raising some well-needed
money to continue our support of the Veterans through the Journey Home
Project.”

A portion of the proceeds from the night will go to the The Journey
Home Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit co-founded by Daniels and manager,
David Corlew, to help Veterans of the United States Armed Forces. For
more info on The Journey Home Project, please visit: thejourneyhomeproject.org.

“The Volunteer Jam has been a staple of the Charlie Daniels Band’s
career since 1974. We’re thrilled to be able to use the platform we’ve
built through the years to give back to the men and women who give so
much of themselves for us, our veterans. This is a culmination of
wonderful friends, hard work and great music that is shaping up to be
one of the best Volunteer Jam’s to date!” said David Corlew, Charlie
Daniels’ manager and co-founder of The Journey Home Project.

Charlie Daniels’ 80th Birthday Volunteer Jam is produced by Mike
Smardak of Outback Concerts in association with David Corlew &
Associates and Webster & Associates.

About The Volunteer Jam:
The Volunteer Jam, a multi genre musical extravaganza is one of
Charlie Daniels’ best known accomplishments. The legendary event began
in 1974 at the War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, TN as a way of
celebrating their first hometown sellout concert. The CDB invited
numerous musical compadres to stop by “and do some jamming.” Among those
who dropped in were members of the Marshall Tucker Band and The Allman
Brothers Band. Recordings from this Jam are included on the CDB’s Fire
On The Mountain LP, and 100 radio stations aired one-hour tapes of the
event. CDB songs at Jam I included “Whiskey,” “Long Haired Country Boy,”
“Trudy,” and “The South’s Gonna Do It, (Again).” This was the beginning
of the Homecoming concert tradition.

Volunteer Jam II (1975) took place at Murphy Center on the Middle
Tennessee State University campus in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The first
year’s 2400 revelers and 10,600 of their friends returned for another
advance sellout. The evening was documented in “Volunteer Jam,” the
first Southern rock motion picture. The aristocracy of Southern rock –
The Marshall Tucker Band, Dickey Betts and Chuck Leavell of The Allman
Brothers Band, and Dru Lombar of Grinderswitch – “volunteered” with The
CDB. Alvin Lee of Ten Years After, Hee Haw regular Roni Stoneman, top
ranked session men Jamie Nichol and Karl Himmel, along with Jimmy Hall
of Wet Willie and Billy Joe Shaver were also among the performing
guests. Taped broadcasts were aired on 120 radio stations. At that time,
“The South’s Gonna Do It (Again),” was a hit anthem on FM radio and the
CDB was enjoying popularity that would keep on building.

Volunteer Jam III moved to Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium in 1976
where the CDB’s homecoming concert continued annually until 1985.
Another advance sellout included mail orders from as far away as New
York and California. The rowdy bash attained the stature of a civic
event inspiring mayoral and gubernatorial proclamations. Radio coverage
doubled the first year’s programmers. More than 250 stations aired
two-hour tapes of Volunteer Jam III via King Biscuit Radio Network.

In 1979 at Volunteer Jam V, Lynyrd Skynyrd reunited for the first
time since the 1977 plane crash for a tribute to the legendary Skynyrd
band.

Volunteer Jam X (1984) marked the Jam debut as an international media
event. The CDB and more than 30 guest artists entertained millions
around the world via an unprecedented live Voice of America broadcast .
The SRO event was later aired as a two-hour TV special, produced by Dick
Clark Productions, and syndicated by Multimedia Entertainment.
Television personalities Dick Clark, Byron Allen of NBC’s “Real People,”
and MTV’s deejay Alan Hunter were on hand.

Daniels, had no limit to the genre of music that was invited to
perform at Volunteer Jams and the lineups included rock, country
bluegrass, gospel, soul, classical, comedy, and southern rock.

Other memorable moments at Volunteer Jam Municipal Auditorium
concerts include performances by Billy Joel, Ted Nugent and Molly
Hatchet performing “Mississippi Queen.” Leon Russell, Mickey Gilley,
Duane Eddy, Woody Herman, and the Jordanaires made appearances as well
as, Vince Gill, the late Nicolette Larson, Dwight Yoakam, the late Papa
John Creach, and Willie Nelson singing his classic “Crazy.”

The list goes on. Other historic performances included Soloman Burke,
Sea Level, Eddie Rabbit, Poco, the Oak Ridge Boys, B. B. King, Delbert
McClinton, Ray Price, ( “For the Good Times,”) Roy Acuff, Amy Grant,
John Prine, Bonnie Bramlett, Emmylou Harris, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
and Carl Perkins. When Little Richard removed his shirt and shoes while
performing, the crowd went wild. James Brown brought the house down when
he performed “I Feel Good,” along with a medley of his hits. The crowd
never knew who would appear next.

Volunteer Jams took place at Starwood Amphitheater in Nashville, TN
from 1986 to 1992 and were the subject of documentary TV productions as
well as a live appearance on the national broadcast of the Jerry Lewis
Telethon. Guest at Starwood Jams included Don Henley and J.D. Souther
performing “Desperado and “You’re Only Lonely.”

Volunteer Jam XIII brought back Lynyrd Skynyrd for a 2nd reunion with
a paralyzed Allen Collins speaking to the crowd, not long before his
passing. Pat Boone performed, and Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander
played piano, while Travis Tritt, and Garth Brooks joined CDB on
“Drinkin’ My Baby Goodbye.”

Volunteer Jam XVI was the last of the official Vol Jam concerts held
on Oct. 28, 1996 at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville.
The first ever acoustic Volunteer Jam, commemorated Charlie Daniels’
60th birthday. Joining Charlie for a very special birthday party
included David Ball, John Berry, Tracy Byrd, Billy Ray Cyrus, Tracy
Lawrence, David Lee Murphy, Victoria Shaw, Jimmy Hall & Lorrie
