Luke Combs, Eric Church & More Join Forces for 'A Concert for Carolina'

Following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which ripped across the southeastern portion of the United States during the final days of September, a few of country music and beyond's brightest voices have joined together to make a difference.

The mighty quartet of Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor will be headlining a special benefit show in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 26.

Set to take over Bank of America Stadium, all proceeds for the "Concert for Carolina" will be split between Combs and Church, who will each donate to relief efforts across the Carolinas and all of the southeast, including Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC and more.

Lovingly known as the Tar Heel State, North Carolina has a special place among all of the entertainer's hearts, with Combs, Church and Taylor all having deep roots in the state where they were raised, and Strings performing there countless times.

Set to be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley, more artists are expected to be added to the lineup in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the benefit show will go on-sale this Thursday (Oct. 10) at 10 a.m. ET. More information can be found here, including details on how to donate to those in need and upcoming auctions and raffles to benefit those effected by Hurricane Helene.

The show announcement comes just days after Church released ‘Darkest Hour (Helene Edit)’ in honor of his home state of North Carolina and those who have been so deeply impacted by last month's hurricane.

Marking his first taste of new music in over three years, all of the publishing royalties gained from the track will go towards disaster relief and the people of his home state.

“From Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, Upstate South Carolina, parts of Georgia and even Florida which took a direct hit, there are so many places that were impacted. Specifically in the area that I'm from, the mountains of Western North Carolina were devastated. There are places that are just biblically gone. These are our family members, they're our friends, they're our neighbors – and they're in dire need of help," Church shared ahead of the release. "I had this song that I'd written, and the line that struck me in light of the recent devastation was ‘I'll come running,’ because there are a lot of people out there right now who are in their darkest hour and they need people to come running.

Becoming the deadliest mainland storm since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the death toll from Hurricane Helene continues to rise as recovery efforts continue across the southeast. While North Carolina was one of the worst-hit areas of the US, the natural disaster also wreaked havoc across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.
