Line-up announced for Macon County Disaster Relief Concert
March 26, 2008 - Macon County Times
Jett, Tanya Tucker and the Oak Ridge Boys to headline show
Country artist Jett Williams, daughter of the legendary Hank Williams and for many years a resident of
Macon County, has launched a tornado disaster relief program.
The program will be funded by a major benefit show to be held on Saturday, May 10 at Deerwood Park in
Red Boiling Springs.
More than thirty artists have committed to donate their time and talents to this worthwhile cause, including:
Mila Mason, Becky Hobbs, Stu Phillips, Jeanne Pruett, Jesse McReynolds, Johnny Counterfit, Jimmy
Fortune, Ernie Ashworth, Charlie Rich, Jr, Razzy Bailey, Jim Ed Brown, Helen Cornelius, David Frizzell,
John Conlee, Ferlin Husky, Leona Williams, Ron Williams, Freddy Weller, Dallas Frazier, Charlie McCoy,
Steve Hall & Shotgun Red, Pam Tillis, Aaron Tippin, Anastasia Brown, Bill Anderson, Jan Howard, Jimmy
C. Newman, Jeannie Seely, Guy Gilchrist and Holly Williams, Jett's niece.
The show will start in the early afternoon so that many of Jett's friends can get to the Opry in Nashville
later on Saturday and fulfill other commitments.
The evening portion of the show will headline Jett, Tanya Tucker & The Oak Ridge Boys.
All of the proceeds of the event will go directly to the disaster victims in Macon, Trousdale, and Sumner
counties in Tennessee and to our southern Kentucky neighbors who were also hit hard by the tornadoes.
The funds will be distributed by a blue ribbon panel set up by the dean of the local bar association, James
Chamberlain, Esq., which includes the heads of the local banks and several local citizens dedicated to
helping our neighbors help themselves.
The gates open for the show at 10 a.m., on Saturday, May 10. The entertainment will start at noon, or
shortly thereafter.
Tickets can be purchased with TicketsNashville online at www.ticketsnashville.com or by calling
TicketsNashville at 615-628-9100. The cost of the tickets is a minimum donation of $15 in advance or a
minimum donation of $20 day of show.
Plan to come out and enjoy a great day of music and help our local people, your friends, relatives and
neighbors, recover from the February 5 tornadoes.
