John Anderson, Rodney Crowell Play Benefit Concert for Injured Wildlife

On Aug. 21, the 2010 Walden’s Puddle “Puddle-Palooza” benefit concert and festival will take place at Nashville’s Yogi Bear Jellystone Park. The concert and festival proceeds will benefit the non-profit facility for The Walden’s Puddle organization, and Country Music's John Anderson, Rodney Crowell and Emily West are among those who have signed on to play.
 
“The new board of Walden’s Puddle is grateful to the Music Merchants Association and Jellystone Park for teaming up with us for our first ‘Puddle-Palooza!’” said Walden’s Puddle Board Chair Lane Brody. “It is a fresh start for all of us, and God willing, this event will bring more awareness to the important work Walden’s Puddle does every single day in giving injured and orphaned wildlife a second chance, as well as bring community support and patronage back to Music Valley, which was so impacted by the flood.”
 
Artists featured at the benefit concert will include Anderson, Lane Brody, Cerrito, Rodney Crowell and the Notorious Cherry Bombs, Jypsi, HLN news anchor Robin Meade, Victoria Shaw, Army Ranger and Country artist Keni Thomas, West and additional special guests.
 
The festival gates will open at noon and the live concert will begin at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available at http://www.visitmusiccity.com/visitors/puddlepalooza.
