Darius To Perform at Hurricane Dorian Benefit Concert
Announced today, a star-studded benefit
concert at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium will provide desperately
needed funds to relief efforts in the Bahamas following the destruction of
Hurricane Dorian last week. Organized and hosted by songwriter Patrick
Davis (founder of Songwriters in Paradise and frontman of Patrick Davis and
his Midnight Choir), the Sept. 16 concert will feature some of Nashville’s
most talented songwriters and notable artists, including Darius
Rucker, Randy Houser, Kristian Bush of Sugarland, Mark Bryan of
Hootie & the Blowfish, Devin Dawson and James Otto, with full lineup to
be announced in the coming days.
Songwriters in Paradise (SIP), a music festival featuring some of the best
songwriters in the world, has been a fixture in Hope Town on the Abaco
Islands in the Bahamas for the past 8 years, and the performers, fans and
locals have formed a special bond since the festival began.
Sadly, Hope Town and the Abacos were the first place in the Bahamas to
receive the brunt of Hurricane Dorian’s fury. Patrick Davis and the rest of
the SIP Family immediately stepped up to help out their friends, beginning
with a GoFundMe Campaign that has raised over $350,000 to-date. An online
auction featuring one-of-a-kind items will also coincide with the event. The
GoFundMe Campaign, benefit concert and auction will benefit the overall
Hurricane Dorian relief efforts but especially those on the outer Bahamian
islands who may not be as quick to receive government aid.
