North Carolina singer-songwriters and bands are joining forces for the “Concert for Carolina,” benefiting Hurricane Helene victims in the western part of the state. Among the acts scheduled to perform are Rock and Roll Hall of Famer James Taylor, country star Luke Combs, Grammy Award-winning country-pop artist Sheryl Crow, bluegrass phenom Billy Strings, and North Carolina natives The Avett Brothers, Eric Church, Chase Rice, Parmalee, and Scotty McCreery.

Combs, who was born in Huntersville and grew up in Asheville, attending Appalachian State University before pursuing music, sold out two nights at Bank of America Stadium back in 2023.

Taylor, who was born in Boston, but grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is a six-time Grammy Award-winner who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. He is best known for his iconic songs “Carolina in My Mind,” “Fire and Rain,” and “You’ve Got a Friend.”

The event will be hosted by ESPN’s Marty Smith and Asheville native Caleb Pressley, a media personality for Barstool Sports. Proceeds from the concert will support relief organizations aiding those affected by Hurricane Helene, with funds split between Church’s Chief Cares Foundation and charities selected by Luke Combs. Combs’ donations will be directed to nonprofits like Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank

The concert will also be live streamed on Veeps ($24.99, but free for those in affected areas) to ensure all fans will be able to watch the concert after tickets sold out immediately. The stream will provide an additional opportunity to raise funds for Hurricane Helene relief efforts, according to the organizers.
