The country music community has come together this week to show their support to residents of Tennessee following the catastrophic tornados that took place on Saturday, December 9.

The tornados that hit Tennessee killed six people and sent dozens of residents to area hospitals while causing devastation in several counties. Now, country stars including Dierks Bentley and Lady A are the latest to post to their hundreds of thousands of followers about how to help and donate to those in need.

Bentley shared a video of himself performing his track "Gold," the lead single to his 2023 album, Gravel & Gold, with the caption below on Twitter.

"A lot of our neighbors here in #Tennessee could use some extra support after the catastrophic #tornadoes that hit our area. If you are able, please join us in donating to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. Every little bit helps."

Lady A also took to Twitter to share their "12 Days Of Giving" tradition in which they highlight "a few notable charities in the days leading up to Christmas." Today (12/13), the country trio along with Bentley, highlighted the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

"In response to the devastating tornadoes that struck our Middle Tennessee region this past weekend, the @CFMT have activated their emergency relief funds to aid those affected by the disaster. Being so close to home, we want to highlight them as our first #12DaysofGiving organization," Lady A shared on Twitter.

The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee posted to Facebook, "Give to the Tennessee Emergency Response Fund and together we'll help survivors and our communities recover from Saturday's disastrous storms." Currently, several locations are also looking for volunteers including the city of Springfield to assist with cleanup which you can find more information on here.

In my opinion, you haven't lived until you've attended a country music festival. As a fan, what's better than having all of your favorite artists in the same location for a few days along with thousands of people who love the genre as much as you do?

If you've come this far, you're most likely looking to travel with friends, plan a road trip with the family, or attend a festival right in your backyard. From the East Coast to the West Coast and everywhere in between, there's most likely a festival scheduled near you.

Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Hardy, Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Morgan Wallen, and Thomas Rhett are just a few of the country superstars named as headliners across the United States in 2024.

In 2023, CMA Fest alone welcomed more than 90,000 daily attendees in Nashville, Tennessee, while reaching its largest stadium audience in its 50-year history. Festivals such as Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, and Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, are already sold out for 2024, however, you can join the waiting list for tickets.

If you're looking for something new in the coming months, then Jason Aldean and Kid Rock's latest announcement will have you kicking up your boots. The inaugural Rock The Country festival will take over Louisiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missouri, and South Carolina next year.

"The first EVER Rock the Country is bringing big names to small towns. From rising stars to country icons, this is two nights that you won’t want to miss," Rock The Country Facebook post stated.
