Drake White is bringing his annual “Benefit For The Brain” show back to the Ryman Auditorium on Nov. 17. The event will focus on raising money for mental wellness for military and veterans, especially PTSD, brain health in children and adolescents and innovative approaches to stroke recovery and neurological treatment. White’s non-profit The Benefit For The Brain will donate and disperse proceeds from the show to select charity organizations. A full lineup will be announced at a later date and tickets go on sale tomorrow (Aug. 15) at 10 a.m. local time.
In 2019, White endured a stroke on stage that later led to a Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) diagnosis that required seven brain surgeries.
The inaugural installment sold out the Ryman and raised over $253,000, welcoming Riley Green, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, surprise guest Colbie Caillat and many speakers from various organizations.
Additionally, White will headline his “Keep It Moving Tour” this fall, as well as join Riley Green for the second leg of his “Damn Country Music Tour.”
