‘Stars & Strings’ To Benefit 9/11 Day
• Audacy announced the return of its live events series, starting with Stars and Strings, hosted by WNSH (New York’s Country 94.7)/New York, and featuring performances by Darius Rucker, Zac Brown, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Tenille Arts and Caroline Jones. The annual Country concert event returns to New York City on The Rooftop at Pier 17 at the Seaport on Saturday, Sep. 11 and will benefit 9/11 Day, the nonprofit that runs the federally designated September 11th National Day of Service.
“Like so many people, I’ll never forget where I was on that fateful day 20 years ago,” said Rucker. “I’m glad there are organizations like 9/11 Day, who continue to pay tribute to the people impacted and I’m honored to be part of this special event as we celebrate a return to live music.”
“We are thrilled to be able to bring back our first live concert in over a year and a half, and to benefit 9/11 Day,” said Michael Martin, Audacy SVP of Programming and Music Initiatives. “Stars and Strings is one of our premiere events that has consistently sold out in years past enabling meaningful contributions to our nonprofit partners. The show builds belonging with word-class artists and their fans, and in partnership with 9/11 day, we are transforming the pain of that day into positive action and service for our communities.”
David Paine, President & Co-Founder of 9/11 Day, commented, “The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is an extraordinarily important moment to all Americans to remember and pay tribute by joining together again in unity. We are proud to be a partner with Audacy to help support such a wonderful and patriotic event in tribute.” Tickets for Stars & Strings go on sale this Friday, August 6 at 10am ET at Ticketmaster.com.
