Amazon Music, Florida Georgia Line, CMT and Big Machine Label Group have each donated to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee’s Nashville Neighbors Fund, which supports local businesses affected by the Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville. Grants will be made available to nonprofits providing immediate and long-term services for those impacted by the explosion, and virtual concertgoers can contribute their own donations during the livestream via Tiltify.
“We’ve definitely been missing the road, our band, and especially our fans. We can’t think of a better reason to team up with our CMT family and hit the stage at FGL House in support of our fellow downtown Nashville merchants affected by the bombing,” FGL’s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard said in a statement. “With the help of our friends at Amazon Music, we’ll be playing and live streaming tunes from Life Rolls On, and can’t wait to share some good vibes with our community. Tune in y’all!”
On Dec. 25, Anthony Quinn set off a bomb in an RV in downtown Nashville, killing himself, injuring eight people and damaging dozens of local businesses.
FGL’s virtual benefit concert will take place on Feb. 17 at 9 p.m. ET on Amazon Music’s Twitch channel and its mobile app. The performance will be available to watch on demand on Amazon Music’s Twitch for three days afterward.
