Blake Shelton will be joined by Miranda Lambert, Reba McIntyre and Vince Gill for the “Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert” at 8 p.m. Wednesday (May 29) at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.
Luke Bryan, Usher and Darious Rucker have been added to the line up.
You can watch the concert streaming live on our sister station KFOR’s website: http://kfor.com/on-air/live-streaming/
Tickets sold for $25. The event will raise funds for the United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund. Working with their local community partners, United Way of Central Oklahoma will use the Fund for immediate, intermediate and long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts in Oklahoma following the tornadoes that devastated Moore on May 20, according to KFOR.
Born and raised in Oklahoma and currently residing in the city of Tishomingo, the recent tragedy that struck the state this week hit close to home for Shelton. The one way the country singer knew he could help immediately would be through the “Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert” aiding the United Way of Central Oklahoma.
This isn’t the first time Shelton has reached out to those in the wake of tragedy in Oklahoma. In 2011, Shelton and long-time friend Reba went back home to Oklahoma to host the “Tornado Relief Concerts” for victims affected by the Atoka County tornadoes. The two-sold out concerts, which featured special guests and over two hours of entertainment, raised $500,000 for the Oklahoma victims.
