Alison Krauss and Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas, recently announced their involvement with Compassion International and their multi-city concert, Help Haiti Live.
One month following the 7.1 earthquake that struck Haiti, an all-star cast of musicians is gathering for
Help Haiti Live, a two-city concert event taking place on Feb. 27 to benefit Compassion International's Haiti disaster relief fund. The concerts are sponsored by Gaylord Entertainment Company and will be streamed live at
HelpHaitiLive.com.
Krauss and Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas, Amy Grant, Big Kenny, Mat Kearney, Jars Of Clay, Rebecca St. James, NEEDTOBREATHE, Brandon Heath and a to-be-announced special headliner will participate in two concert events, live from Los Angeles at the historic Wiltern Theater and at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. All talent and production fees have been donated, along with streaming services from
Livestream.com, allowing proceeds to go towards Compassion's disaster relief fund.
Tickets for each event will range in price from $25 - $75 and can be purchased beginning Monday, Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. CST at
Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster locations, by calling (800) 745-3000, through The Ryman box office or
Ryman.com, and through Live Nation for The Wiltern.
All proceeds from HelpHaitiLive.com will go to Compassion International’s Haiti disaster relief fund. All money raised in response to the Haiti earthquake will be used immediately to re-equip Compassion’s local support structure and to provide for the immediate needs of Compassion-assisted children and families.
