Trace Adkins and Little Big Town have joined the lineup for Music Builds: CMT Disaster Relief Concert on Thursday, 12 May 2011. As previously reported, the roster will also include Hank Williams Jr., Alabama, Ronnie Dunn, Sara Evans, Alan Jackson, Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw and Keith Urban. ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, HLN anchor Robin Meade and comedian Ron White will serve as co-hosts. Filmed without a studio audience, the special will air live from Nashville at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CMT and will be simulcast on CMT.com. All money raised will benefit the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts for people affected by the recent devastating storms, floods and tornadoes.
musicians help tornado victims
Country music stars Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum, and Hank Williams Jr. are to hold a concert to raise funds for victims of storms and tornadoes that struck Alabama and nearby states.
CMT and organizers said they felt the devastation was overshadowed by media coverage of the British royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and news that a U.S. strike team killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
"The other seismic news events of the past few days have had the unintended effect of limiting media coverage of this massive, historic American disaster," CMT President Brian Philips said in a statement.
CMT will air the benefit concert live from Nashville, Tennessee, on 12 May 2011. All money raised will benefit American Red Cross disaster relief efforts.
About 350 people were killed last week by tornadoes and flooding in the southern United States. More than 230 people died in Alabama alone.
Williams, the 61 year-old son of late country music legend Hank Williams, took the first steps to organizing the benefit concert when he reached out to CMT executives.
The 90-minute concert will also feature Ronnie Dunn, formerly of the duo Brooks & Dunn, singer Sara Evans, Alabama and others.
The storms are estimated to have destroyed or damaged more than 13,000 homes across six U.S. states, according to the American Red Cross.
