Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Little Big Town, Breland and Brittney Spencer have joined the lineup of stars set to perform live from the Grand Ole Opry House on Monday, September 13th in support of country music icon Loretta Lynn’s flood relief efforts. Previously announced performers for the Loretta Lynn‘s Friends: Hometown Rising benefit include Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood, Luke Bryan and Luke Combs. The show is sold-out, and all proceeds benefit United Way of Humphreys County.
Loretta said, “It’s so heartwarming to see everyone in our hometown to step up to help those in need. I’m honored that some of my best friends in Nashville have been so eager to help, too, and I can’t wait to watch the great show they put on. I hope you’ll tune in with me!”
Loretta Lynn’s Friends: Hometown Rising will broadcast live on Circle Network at 8 p.m. ET in addition to live streaming on Circle All Access via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. A joint venture between Opry Entertainment Group and Gray Television, Circle is available to watch on Circle and Gray TV stations, DISH Studio Channel 102, Sling TV and other TV affiliates.
In addition to the concert, Loretta has partnered with Kendra Scott to garner additional support for the cause, with the jewelry company donating 50% of proceeds from the sale of their Tennessee Guitar charm throughout the month of September to United Way of Humphreys County. The charm is available for purchase at KendraScott.com or in retail locations.
Floodwaters rushed through rural Tennessee on August 17th after the area received more than 15 inches of rain over a six-hour period, leading to flash flooding that took the lives of 20 people – including the Lynn family’s own longtime ranch hand Wayne Spears – and destroyed hundreds of homes.
