Charlie Daniels will offer his time and talents to host and headline Charlie Daniels & Friends concert on Monday, November 21st at the Ryman Auditorium, beginning at 7:00 PM. Charlie Daniels and friends Phil Vassar, Joe Nichols, Colt Ford, and Sawyer Brown will perform at the charity event that raises money for the Christmas 4 Kids organization (a division of Christmas For Kids, Inc).

“You think about making a kid smile when there is very little to smile about in their life. That’s what Christmas 4 Kids is all about, ” says Charlie Daniels.

“The 10th Anniversary of the Charlie Daniels and Friends Concert, has become a favorite holiday event in Nashville,” says Christmas For Kids President Debbie Lambserson. “With the support and dedication of Charlie Daniels, this event get’s better with time!!! I can’t wait for the next 10 years.”

Christmas 4 Kids is a not-for-profit organization that has been in existence for over 25 years providing many children, each year, with their very own shopping spree. The funds generated by the concert, and the Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet event are used to give children from 30 different schools, a total of more than 400 children, a day-long shopping excursion. The special day consists of a chauffeured trip from their school aboard an entertainer’s luxury tour bus, lunch, and a party hosted by Santa and Mrs. Claus at College Heights Baptist Church, and finally a trip to the Hendersonville, Tennessee, Walmart where they receive $150.00 to spend on anything they want and also receive a brand new winter coat.

The Annual Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet event will take place on Monday, December 12th in Hendersonville, TN. The shopping excursion takes place on Tuesday, December 13th.

All proceeds from the Tour Bus Show/Artist Meet and Greet and the Charlie Daniels & Friends concert (sponsored in part by 95.5 WSM, Bob Parks Realty (Sumner County office), Jayson Promotions, Robo-Pong, and coach manufacturer, Prevost Car, Inc.) — November 21st — will be donated toward the children’s Christmas Shopping/Bus Excursion which is scheduled to take place December 13th.
