Big Kenny says, "There's going be an event at the Ryman this weekend that I believe will be an event of the heart for many people. Not only great music, but a great, overwhelming experience of the heart..."
The "Help Haiti Live" benefit concert will support Compassion International's disaster relief fund for Haiti. Big Kenny is a longtime supporter for the charity which has been active in Haiti for decades. He says that because the organization has been there for so long they were able to do a lot for those in need right after the earthquake last month.
Big Kenny will perform as well as host. Other artists participating include Alison Krauss and Union Station, Jars of Clay, and Mat Kearney. All net proceeds from the show will go to Compassion International's Haiti disaster relief fund.
The concerts will be streamed live at HelpHaitiLive.com
