The Country Throwdown Tour and its artists will donate proceeds from merchandise sales to benefit and help rebuild the flood-devastated Nashville community.
 
Main stage headliners Montgomery Gentry, Jack Ingram, Eric Church, Eli Young Band and Bluebird Café Tent singer-songwriters Sarah Buxton, Heather Morgan, Jedd Hughes, Ashley Ray, Troy Olsen, Brad Tursi, Cory Branan and Dave Pahanish will be donating net proceeds from select shows throughout the country. The tour will donate $.50 of every ticket to charity, a portion of which will go directly to Hands On Nashville to rebuild community infrastructure in Nashville. 
 
“After moving part of our company down to Nashville well over a year ago, we’ve all grown deeply connected to this town,” said tour founder Kevin Lyman. “In the wake of this flood, all of us with the Country Throwdown Tour are inspired to help rebuild the Nashville community for many months to come.” 
 
The first annual multi-stage country tour, which features top Country Music artists with up-and-coming singer-songwriters, kicks off on May 14 in Tampa, Fla., and wraps up June 20 in Mountain View, Calif. Below is the Country Throwdown Tour Schedule:
