- Darius Rucker, Zac Brown and Chris Young Headline the 9/11 Benefit
Audacy has announced the return of its live events series, kicking off with “Stars and Strings,” hosted by New York’s Country WNSH 94.7 FM.
The annual country music concert event will return to New York City on The Rooftop at Pier 17 at the Seaport on Saturday, September 11 and benefit 9/11 Day, the nonprofit that runs the federally designated September 11th National Day of Service.
The “Stars and Strings” lineup includes Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Darius Rucker, Grammy Award-winning vocalist/songwriter Zac Brown, Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Chris Young, American Country Music Award-winning singer/songwriter Lee Brice, American Country Music Award nominee singer/songwriter Tenille Arts and singer/songwriter Caroline Jones.
“Like so many people, I’ll never forget where I was on that fateful day 20 years ago,” said Rucker. “I’m glad there are organizations like 9/11 Day, who continue to pay tribute to the people impacted and I’m honored to be part of this special event as we celebrate a return to live music.”
“We are thrilled to be able to bring back our first live concert in over a year and a half, and to benefit 9/11 Day,” said Michael Martin, Senior Vice President of Programming and Music Initiatives, Audacy. “‘Stars and Strings’ is one of our premiere events that has consistently sold out in years past enabling meaningful contributions to our nonprofit partners. The show builds belonging with word-class artists and their fans, and in partnership with 9/11 day, we are transforming the pain of that day into positive action and service for our communities.”
“The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is an extraordinarily important moment to all Americans to remember and pay tribute by joining together again in unity,” said David Paine, President and Co-Founder of 9/11 Day.” “We are proud to be a partner with Audacy to help support such a wonderful and patriotic event in tribute.”
