We’re All for the Hall Rescheduled for April

Keith Urban All for the Hall

Keith Urban and Vince Gill, this year joined by an all-star lineup of some of country music’s most loved groups, will return to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday, April 10, for a concert to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. Reserved seating tickets, which are priced at a family friendly $25 and $35 (does not include Ticketmaster surcharge), will go on sale January 27 at 10:00 a.m. A limited number of VIP ticket packages will also go on sale on January 27th at Ticketmaster.com. (Complete ticket purchase information is below.)

The show—which will feature performances from an all-star line-up including Urban, Country Music Hall of Fame members Vince Gill and Alabama, Alison Krauss & Union Station, The Band Perry, Blue Sky Riders, Diamond Rio, Exile, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, The Oak Ridge Boys, Pistol Annies, Rascal Flatts and Thompson Square—again promises to be a one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime evening of music, friendship and camaraderie.

“My goal for the concert, is really the same as the halls’,” said Urban. “To help country fans connect the dots – to find out where their music came from, how it’s evolved (and is still evolving) and to hear the artists that have influenced their favorite artists. Country music is like a big beautiful strange family tree and nowhere is that more honored than at the Country Music Hall Of Fame and Museum.”

All for the Hall is the museum’s first-ever non-bricks-and-mortar fundraising initiative. The campaign addresses the not-for-profit educational institution’s need for long-term financial security and provides a safety net for its work. Through ongoing exhibit schedules, scholarly publications and hundreds of school and family programs annually, the museum teaches its audiences about the enduring beauty and cultural importance of country music. Museum Board President Gill created and has led the institution’s All for the Hall fundraising initiative since 2005.

“The first two We’re All for the Hall concerts have been landmarks for this institution,” said Museum Director Kyle Young. “They have been the most successful fundraisers in the museum’s history, together raising roughly $1 million. And they have not only set a new standard for fundraising and event coordination, but also brought together an entire community and helped us to see what can be done by individuals when there is a collective passion for a cause.”

Tickets ($25 and $35, plus Ticketmaster surcharge) go on sale January 27 at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations, the Bridgestone Arena box office or by phone at (800) 745-3000. Phone, internet and outlet orders are subject to a convenience fee.

We’re All for the Hall a Huge Success

If you do the math, at least $350,000 was brought in at last week’s We’re All for the Hall concert that benefited Country Music Hall of Fame. The Hall says the Sommet Center was filled to capacity with 14,000 people. And, tickets were $25 each. The musicians donated their time and talent. So, except for maybe the cost of electricity and some other overhead, it had to be a good night for the Hall of Fame. Another “We’re All for the Hall” concert is set for next year on Tuesday night, October 5.

That number is not final because other items have also been sold and will be up for auction to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame.  We are hoping that a press release will be sent out with a final total once everything has been added up.

One of those “extra” items that will go to benefit the Hall is a Taylor Swift guitar that she played on stage during the concert.  Taylor says when she was 14 and first started getting paid to be a songwriter in Nashville, she gave her first check to the Hall of Fame.

Her thought was “‘You’ve got to honor the past before you move forward.”‘  says she still has “that mindset.” That’s why she and so many other artists performed at last week’s “We’re All for the Hall” fundraiser.

The Hall says details about that auction are coming soon.
