Nashville, Tenn. (Top40 Charts) Grammy winner
Lee Greenwood will be performing tonight at the
Dustin Wells Foundation's Gift of
Music concert to benefit the W.O. Smith School of Music. Greenwood will join
Peter Frampton and
Peter Cetera as they lend their musical talents to celebrate a very special young man.
After
Dustin Jack Wells lost his life in a car accident in 2005, his family and friends found a way to keep his memory alive and help others in the process. A fund was set up with all monetary donations used to reach out to others in memory of Dustin. Donating to the W.O. Smith School of
Music is just one way the foundations enriches young lives.
"I am honored to share the "Gift of Music" that God has given me to benefit our community and the
Dustin Wells Foundation," said Greenwood. "Through all of us working together, many young lives in the W.O. Smith School of
Music outreach program will feel the magic of making music and help them find motivation to live a vibrant and useful life. The tragic loss of
Dustin Wells is a reminder that every life is God's gift. Let's help as many as we can. "
Since its inception in 2008, the benefit concert has had the support of some of music's greatest artists, including Dolly Parton, Ronnie Dunn, Kellie Pickler, Dierks Bentley, Lady Antebellum, Gunnar Nelson, and many other generous and talented musicians who have donated their time and talent to support the efforts and causes of Dustin's foundation.
The Gift of
Music concert is tonight, January 24 at 7:30 PM at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. For more information, please visit www.ryman.com
