Benefitting the American Red Cross, donations will be accepted during the show that begins at 5 p.m. on the outdoor stage on Broadway in downtown Nashville between Second and Fourth Avenues.

Who’s on board for this worthy cause? “Music City Gives Back” is being held in conjunction with the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau and is sponsored by Wrangler Western Wear, Cricket Wireless, Carl Black Chevrolet, Advanced Auto Parts and GAC.

“Last year was such a great experience to close down Broadway and raise money and awareness for the American Red Cross, we decided to do it again,” Atkins said in a statement. “This is an organization that helps so many people in all of our communities and they need support not just when disaster strikes. Looking forward to getting there and working with Wrangler Western Wear and Cricket’s Muve Music to raise awareness and party with everyone in Music City”

Can’t make it to Nashville for this star-studded freebie for a good cause? The event will be streamed live via Wrangler’s Facebook page. For more information, visit MusicCityGivesBack.com.
