At the benefit Lynch raised over $32K for two local organizations supporting education: the Imagination Library of Coffee County, Tennessee (an affiliate of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library) and the Tullahoma Education Foundation for Excellence. Toys were also collected during the special evening for Toys for Tots for the area.

Playing chart-toppers inspired by his hometown like the triple-Platinum “Small Town Boy,” Lynch was joined by songwriters Andy Albert, Blake Pendergrass and Jameson Rodgers, who added their own hits to the round. Other special guests included Madeline Merlo, who teamed with him to showcase several of his biggest duets, as well as their “Broken Heart Thing” collaboration.

Up next, Lynch will appear alongside CBS anchor Lonnie Quinn to correspond live from New York City’s Times Square for the second year in a row during CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash Dec. 31 on CBS, and streaming on Paramount+.
