Featuring
an all-star lineup of some of America and Australia’s finest artists,
who are all bound by mutual admiration for each other’s music, and also
share the same zip-code, the show dishes up the cream of Nashville’s
Americana music including roots, soul and rock ‘n’ roll.
From GRAMMY®-nominated singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier to 2019 Americana
Emerging Act of the Year nominee Erin Rae and the masterful entertainer
that is Steve Poltz to psychedelic crooner Nicole Atkins, this evening
will not be one to miss.
Andrew Combs, Becca Mancari and Molly Parden will also take the stage
that evening, showing solidarity to their Aussie comrades Ruby Boots,
Jordie Lane & Clare Reynolds, Emma Swift, Josh Rennie-Hynes, Liz
Stringer and The Winnie Blues, all now making their marks on Nashville
and North America.
The performers will be backed by a star-studded house band led by
Nashville producer/arranger Jordan Lehning, and the host of the show
will be none other than the Aussie cheeky-mouthed Purple Puppet
Comedian, Randy Feltface (as seen on NBC’s “Bring The Funny” in 2019).
Jordie Lane speaks of how the night came together: “I mentioned to Bex,
a.k.a. Ruby Boots, that we had just put on a bunch of fundraisers in
Australia, and we decided that we needed to do this in Nashville. That’s
where we live, and there are so many Aussies here and so many amazing
Americans willing to help out, so that’s what we’re doing. Sending a
message of love to, and also a bucket load of cash to Australians back
home to help in the relief efforts and continued adversity they are set
to face.”
100% of the donations will go toward Australia’s Red Cross and Wildlife
Victoria, and various other fundraising activities like Raffle Prizes
will be up for grabs on the night of the show.
The Americana Music Association is proud to support these artists’
efforts in raising funds for this cause to help provide relief to the
people of Australia affected by this tragedy.
