Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are putting on a benefit concert to raise funds for the recent Tennessee floods. It’s called ‘Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery’ and it will happen on June 22nd at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena with tickets going on sale on May 14th. Those who will perform are Lynyrd Skynyrd, LeAnn Rimes, Brooks & Dunn, Miley Cyrus, Luke Bryan, Amy Grant, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. The money raised will benefit the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and the Emergency Response Fund. That’s pretty cool.

Green Day and Lady Gaga have been confirmed to play at this years Grammy Awards on January 31st.  Along with them, the Zac Brown Band, The Black Eyed Peas, the Dave Matthews Band, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Maxwell and others will be playing.  I hope its not too boring this year.  I don’t know, they seem to just be a bore these last couple years.
