. Additionally, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Katie Pruitt, Kendell Marvel, Old Crow Medicine Show, Sadler Vaden, Soccer Mommy and Yola also took the stage. Tickets for the nearly four-hour show at the 1800-capacity venue went on sale last week and sold out in under an hour. All the artists who performed volunteered their time to help raise money for Tennessee tornado victims.
“It just feels so good to be with you,” Carlile, a Seattle resident, said earlier in the evening during her poignant two-song set of “The Eye” and “The Joke.” “It was so hard to sit home with everything you’ve been through. We don’t live here, but it’s times like these where I know Nashville is my home. I’ve seen a lot of things, but I’ve never seen a community come together the way that this community has come together in the wake of this tragedy. It’s been beyond inspiring.
Tasjan, who shared the staged several times throughout the night with other artists as well as performed a two-song set of his own, reiterated Marvel’s words. “I hope the rest of America can see what’s happening in Nashville. There’s no red and blue when you need a chainsaw.”
