Luke Bryan will co-host a benefit for MusiCares COVID-19 Relief fund. He will join songwriting organization BMI along with some of country music’s top songwriters for a radio concert called “A Salute to the Songwriters,” set to air nationwide on Saturday (May 16th) at 7 p.m. local time. Proceeds will go directly to the special MusiCares fund created by BMI, ASCAP and SESAC to support songwriters affected by the pandemic.
The commercial-free three-hour concert will be broadcast on more than 100 country stations across six broadcast groups and will feature some of the songwriters behind country music’s biggest hits straight from their living rooms and home studios. The line-up includes Dallas Davidson and Rhett Akins, Jon Randall and Jessi Alexander, Luke Dick and Jeff Hyde, Brandon Kinney and Clint Daniels, Barry Dean and Natalie Hemby as well as Dylan Altman and Wynn Varble.
