Audacy marked its return to live events as it hosted “Stars and Strings” on The Rooftop at Pier 17 at the Seaport in New York City on September 11. The show, which was hosted by New York’s Country WNSH 94.7 FM featured performances by Darius Rucker, Zac Brown, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Tenille Arts, Caroline Jones and Jameson Rodgers. The event benefitted 9/11 Day, the nonprofit that runs the federally designated September 11th National Day of Service.
“What an incredible way to mark our return to live events by bringing together some of the biggest names in country music together to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11,” said Michael Martin, Senior Vice President of Programming and Music Initiatives, Audacy. “9/11 holds such a special place in our hearts for all Americans and we’re proud to have been able to unite with our fans to pay tribute to those we lost 20 years ago.”
