Billed “An Evening With Friends,” Old Dominion raised a total of $40K for charity on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Half of the proceeds benefited the Opry Trust Fund and the other half benefited the Ryan Seacrest Foundation.

Surprise guests of the show included Kenny Chesney (“Save It For A Rainy Day,” which was penned by Old Dominion band members Matthew Ramsey and Brad Tursi), Kelsea Ballerini (“Written In The Sand” and “I Hate Love Songs” which was co-written by band member Trevor Rosen), Sam Hunt (“Make You Miss Me,” “Ex To See,” both co-written with Ramsey), and Michael Ray (“The One That Got Away,” which was penned by Ramsey and Rosen).

Old Dominion also performed 19 additional songs during their 120-minute set, including “Hotel Key,” which is currently No. 3 on the country charts and two brand new unreleased songs: the youthfully, energetic “Make It Sweet” and the sentimental and spiritual “Smooth Sailing.”

“What an unforgettable night,” said Ramsey. “The Nashville community has given so much to us. Our lives have changed in ways we could never have—so we felt like this show at the Ryman was a great way to start giving back. There was so much love and music and history swirling around. We are beyond proud to be able to raise money and help those who need it – along with help from our friends!”

The band will pick back up on the fall leg of their arena tour, Oct. 4 in Knoxville, Tennessee at the Knoxville Coliseum.
