New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Folded Flag Foundation is proud to announce its fourth installment of the Songwriters Café - a series of free online concerts that benefit families of our country's fallen heroes. The series is sponsored and hosted by O'Charley's Restaurant + Bar, the classic American restaurant with locations across 17 states.
O'Charley's has raised more than $1.5 million for Folded Flag and the next installment of this unique benefit concert series will again feature some of the music industry's top talent, headlined by Lee Brice, CMA and AMC Award winner and Grammy nominee with eight #1 singles.
The Monday, Feb. 15 Songwriters' Café performance will feature:
Lee Brice (One of Them Girls", "
I Hope You're Happy Now" and "
Rumor")
Whitney Duncan (CMT's Next Women of Country artist behind "Lightweight" and "
All She Wants")
Teddy Robb (artist for "Really Shouldn't Drink Around You" and "Heaven on Dirt")
The show will once again be hosted by Westwood One's Elaina Smith, known for her popular radio show Nights With Elaina.
"I am humbled to spend an evening playing my music and supporting Folded Flag," said Lee Brice. "I released "I Drive Your Truck" nine years ago and still think about its message of honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I hope the audience watching will feel as passionately as I do and get inspired to contribute to Folded Flag to help these deserving families."
"The Songwriters Café has encouraged me to reflect and remember the sacrifices that have been made for our freedom," said Whitney Duncan. "Spending the evening raising money for the children and spouses of these brave men and women was a true privilege. I'm grateful to Folded Flag and O'Charley's for hosting this event."
"It is an honor to be a part of the Songwriters Café, and to come together with Lee and Whitney to raise money for the families of our country's fallen heroes," said Teddy Robb. "To all the audience members, thank you for watching and joining us in support of Folded Flag and the families they support."
