America Salutes You will honor ZZ Top’s Billy F. Gibbons with a benefit concert TV special previously taped at country music’s historic Grand Ole Opry House. The benefit concert, which celebrated Gibbons’ legendary career, will air nationally on Fox owned and operated stations throughout August and September.
Among artists included in the performance are Brad Paisley, Chris Janson, Dennis Quaid, Eric Church, Jimmie Vaughan, Larkin Poe, Lucinda Williams, Tim Montana, Travis Tritt and Guthrie Trapp. The original sold out concert was taped in Nashville on May 16 in front of a live audience.
“A sold out audience at the Grand Ole Opry House enjoyed an amazing show honoring Mr. Gibbons,” comments Bob Okun, Executive Producer, America Salutes You. “Now a national TV audience can enjoy the same dynamic concert special while supporting charities assisting our veterans and first responders with their generous on-line donations.”
100% of public donations will be made to non-profits including ThanksUSA, CreatiVets, the USO, First Responders Children’s Foundation.
