Dustin Lynch is set to headline this year’s Country Now Live event, bringing fans together for a night of music in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
When & Where
The event is set for Tuesday, March 17 at 6th & Peabody (423 6th Ave S, Nashville, TN), with music beginning at 6:30 p.m. local time. Lynch’s headlining set comes as he continues to generate buzz around his high-energy release “Getaway Car,” climbs the country radio charts with “Easy To Love,” and prepares to return to Las Vegas for his second Wynn Nightlife residency.

Country Now Live will also feature performances from buzzed-about rising artists Cole Goodwin, Kayley Green, Kenny Whitmire, Jacob Hackworth, and Graham St. Clair, each delivering intimate sets packed with fan favorites and new music.
“Getting to play in Nashville with other artists is always an honor, but the fact that it’s for St Jude makes it a million times more special,” Green, who recently turned heads with the release of her song “Shadow of a Cowboy,” said. “I’m so grateful to be a part of this show!”

All proceeds from the Country Now Live event will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to support its lifesaving mission. St. Jude treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and thanks to fundraising efforts, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, housing, or food. Instead, they are able to focus on helping their children survive. Click HERE to learn more about St. Jude.
Country Now Live has previously featured headliners Priscilla Block and Chris Young. The event has taken place in Nashville the night before Country Radio Seminar for the past three years, and that tradition continues this year with CRS set for March 18–20.
