9-27: Country stars host benefit for Red Cross

The event, to be held at the Grand Ole Opry House, will begin at 8 p.m. EST. GAC will broadcast live from the event starting at 9 p.m. EST.

Artists scheduled to perform include Alan Jackson, Keith Urban, Alison Krauss, Craig Morgan, Marty Stuart, Julie Roberts, and Billy Currington.

The commercial-free television event will include appearances and performances by country music artists who will raise awareness for The American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and urge contributions from GAC viewers in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Profits from the show’s ticket sales will also benefit the Red Cross.

In addition to the live GAC broadcast, the Opry event will be simulcast on GAC sister networks DIY Network and FINE LIVING. The show will also be heard in its entirety on Nashville’s 650 WSM-AM, Sirius Satellite Radio, and opry.com.
