4/30/2008 Webb Country Music artist Jett Williams, a resident of Macon County, TN has launched a tornado disaster relief program funded by a major benefit show to be held on Saturday, May 10th at Deerwood Park, Red Boiling Springs, TN. Over thirty artists have committed to donate their time and talent to this worthwhile cause, including:
- Jeanne Pruett
- Jesse McReynolds
- Johnny Counterfit
- Charlie Rich, Jr,
- Jim Ed Brown
- Helen Cornelius
- David Frizzell
- John Conlee
- Ferlin Husky
- Charlie McCoy
- Aaron Tippin
- Anastasia Brown
- Bill Anderson
- Jeannie Seely
- Holly Williams
The show will start in the early afternoon so that many of Jett’s friends can get to the Opry 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 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 AM on Saturday, May 10th. The entertainment will start at noon, or shortly thereafter. Tickets can be purchased at
www.ticketsnashville.com or by calling TicketsNashville @615.628.9100. The cost of the tickets is a minimum donation of $10 in advance or a minimum donation of $15 day of show.
