Charlie Daniels Plans Big Children's Benefit Concert On November 23rd

Based on such a wide geographic readership here at That Nashville Sound, we don't normally do posts on specific local concert events. The rare exception is when it benefits kids- and this one does in a big way.

Charlie Daniels announced his annual Charlie & Friends Christmas For Kids Concert slated for November 23rd at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. Joining The Charlie Daniels Band will be CMA Female Vocalist Gretchen Wilson and Gold-selling artist Phil Vassar. More incredible acts will be added to the special evening's line-up as the event approaches.

The Charity event raises money for the Christmas For Kids, Inc. organization. Tickets for the best available seating may be obtained by visiting www.Christmas4kids.org. Other reserved seating will be available October 26th through any Ticketmaster Outlet, or going to www.Ticketmaster.com, or calling 1-800-745-3000.

The Christmas For Kids Organization has been in existence for over 25 years providing special children the opportunity to celebrate the holiday season. Each year, the organization brings the spirit of Christmas to hundreds of children throughout Middle Tennessee allowing them to participate in festive activities organized just for them. Other events like the Tour Bus Show raise money by allowing visitors to tour the home-away-from-home of more than sixty stars. Fans may actually meet many of the artists who bring their buses to the Hendersonville Wal-Mart from 5:00-9:00 p.m. The date for the Tour Bus Show is Monday, December 14, 2009

Funds generated by the Concert and The Tour Bus Show are used to treat children from 28 different schools, a total of 400 children, to a day-long excursion. The special day consists of a chauffeured trip from their school aboard an entertainer's luxury tour bus, lunch and a party hosted by Santa and Mrs. Claus at College Heights Baptist Church, and finally a trip to the Hendersonville, TN Wal-Mart where they are accompanied by a volunteer to participate in their very own Christmas shopping spree.
