Second Harvest Plans Stars Benefit

The Second Harvest Food Bank is preparing to help raise awareness of hunger issues in our community with its 7th Annual Stars For Second Harvest Benefit on Oct. 18 at the Ryman Auditorium. The event is sponsored by O’Charley’s.

Under the able and ongoing stewardship of songwriter/host Craig Wiseman, the show will feature Kix Brooks plus performances by Dave Barnes and songwriter Dallas Davidson. The evening has been especially popular because of its unplugged, acoustic and intimate style.

Brooks, formerly half of award winning duo Brooks & Dunn was recently nominated for CMA National Broadcast Personality of the Year.

In the last six years, this concert has raised $389,032 total to feed the hungry in Middle Tennessee. Each dollar provides four meals, so the funds raised allowed Second Harvest to supply over 1,556,128 meals.

“Not only does this event showcase great, hometown musicians, it also helps raise awareness of hunger issues,” said Jaynee Day, president and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.

Tickets are on-sale now for $35 at ticketmaster.com. For preferred VIP seating please contact the Second Harvest Food Bank at 615-329-3491. Proceeds from the concert to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee in their efforts to feed hungry people and work to solve hunger issues in our community.
