Country music artists are banding together to see what they can do to assist those in need in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, a historically destructive storm that hit over a week ago. The damage and suffering it caused are hard to imagine. That is why Luke Combs and Eric Church are joining forces for "a massive show to benefit Hurricane Helene relief efforts," per Taste Of Country.
We are eager to share details of this exciting event planned for late October. It has a strong humanitarian focus and is geared specifically to helping the people of North Carolina get back on their feet.
The Concert For Carolina With Luke Combs, Eric Church, And Others Is On October 26
The Concert Will Be In Charlotte, North Carolina, At Bank Of America Stadium
So often, we have seen celebrities and performing artists do whatever they can to pitch in and help people in crisis. This situation is no different.
