Written by djfrosty on October 9, 2024
Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Bailey Zimmerman have joined the lineup for Concert for Carolina, a benefit show dedicated to Hurricane Helene relief.
They join previously announced performers Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor. Concert for Carolina will take place at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 26. All proceeds from the event, including sponsorships, will be split between Combs and Church’s Chief Cares Foundation, which will administer the money to organizations in support of relief efforts across the Carolinas and the Southeast, including Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC and Eblen Charities.
The category 4 hurricane came ashore late on Sept. 26 in Florida’s Big Bend region, with a maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour. As the hurricane moved north, it destroyed homes, demolished buildings, crumbled bridges and wiped away roads. In some places, the storm washed away entire communities, and has cut off cellphone services and electricity for millions of residents. So far, the death toll from Hurricane Helene has grown to more than 200 people.
