Tenille Townes is hosting her annual “Big Hearts For Big Kids” benefit concert on Tuesday, June 30 at 7 p.m. CT from the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. The virtual event will feature performances from Townes along with at-home performances from Dierks Bentley, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Andy Grammer, Mickey Guyton, Caylee Hammack, Ashley McBryde, Lori McKenna, Chrissy Metz, John Osborne and Lucie Silvas.

“It is a dream to be bringing ‘Big Hearts For Big Kids’ to Nashville, to be lifting up youth who need us in the world right now and celebrating with music from artists that I admire so much,” said Townes. “Watching the way this event has grown in my hometown over the past 10 years has shaped me and taught me what people coming together through music can really do.”

The concert will be available to stream via Townes’ YouTube, Facebook and Instagram pages. Since Townes started the fundraiser a decade ago, “Big Hearts For Big Kids” has raised over $1.9 million for Sunrise House, a local youth shelter in her hometown of Grande Prairie, Alberta Canada. Proceeds from this year’s event will once again benefit Sunrise House as well as Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee’s Troop 6000 – an initiative that supports girls without permanent housing. Donations to both organizations can be made through bigheartsforbigkids.com.

The Bobby Bones Show will be the event’s exclusive radio partner, and will feature an on-air interview with Townes and the event’s stream on their Facebook Page.
