See You At Stars and Strings!
CBS Radio will present its third annual Stars and Strings show to honor our nation’s veterans and their families, on Wednesday, November 15 at The Chicago Theatre in downtown Chicago. The all-star lineup features Brad Paisley, Chris Young, Darius Rucker, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady Antebellum and Sam Hunt with a special appearance by Lindsay Ell. The announcement was made on Monday morning by WUSN (US99)/Chicago morning dudes Stylz & Roman. “Stars and Strings is CBS Radio’s annual tribute to our nation’s military veterans who do so much to protect our freedoms and our very way of life,” said Chris Oliviero, EVP of Programming, CBS Radio. “We’ve assembled an amazing roster of artists to help us celebrate this special group at the landmark Chicago Theatre.”
Chase cardholders will have access to pre-sale tickets and Darius Rucker Soundcheck packages beginning this morning at 10am CT through Thursday, September 28 at 10pm CT. General ticket sales begin Friday, September 29 at 10am CT via Ticketmaster. A portion of the show’s proceeds will benefit Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members.
CBS Radio is also doing two national contests to send fans to the show — from October 16-27, listeners can enter online at Radio.com and StarsandStrings.com for their chance to win a grand prize trip, including round-trip airfare for the winner and one guest to Chicago, hotel accommodations, and two tickets to Stars and Strings.
