Luke Combs and Johnathan Walkerother country artists are using their talents to raise money for communities in need, following the utter devastation inflicted by Hurricane Helene across the Southeast.
All proceeds from "Concert for Carolina," a benefit show, featuring performances from Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor, will be donated to organizations engaged in relief efforts in the Carolinas and the Southeast, according to a press release obtained by USA TODAY.
The money collected will be split 50/50 between Combs and Church's Chief Cares Foundation, who will distribute the funds to organizations of their choosing.
The show, presented by Explore Asheville and Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 26.
"The Tar Heel State is a profoundly special place for all four artists, as it is where Combs, Church and Taylor grew up and first discovered their musical interests, and where Strings has performed many, many times over his career and holds an extra special place in his heart," according to the release.

Combs took to Instagram on Monday to share the news, writing in the caption that he told everyone had "something big planned for Carolina."
"This concert took so much planning, work, and coordination from so many people," Combs wrote on social media. "I’m so thankful to everyone who helped make this a possibility on such short notice."

ESPN reporter Marty Smith and Caleb Pressley of Barstool Sports were tapped to host "Concert for Carolina," which will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 26. Other artists will join Combs, Church, Strings and Taylor on stage.
