Keith Urban, Sheryl Crow Sign on for Hurricane Benefit Show

Keith Urban, Sheryl Crow and Bailey Zimmerman have been added to the lineup for the Concert for Carolina.

The event, a benefit show for Hurricane Helene victims, started as a promise from Luke Combs to help storm victims in his home state of North Carolina.

The show was officially announced earlier this week. Combs is headlining the event, alongside his fellow North Carolinians Eric Church and James Taylor, plus Billy Strings — a bluegrass star who has a special connection to the state.

For its next round of announced performers, the Concert’s outreach is extending beyond artists specifically connected to North Carolina. Crow hails from Missouri, Zimmerman is from Illinois and Urban was born in New Zealand and grew up in Australia.

Still, all performers share a commitment to philanthropy, and to helping those who have been affected by the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene.

The show will take place on Oct. 26 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Tickets are on sale as of Thursday (Oct. 10) at 10AM ET, with all proceeds being funneled to help hurricane victims.

The funds will be split between Combs and Church’s Chief Cares Foundation. Combs will send his portion to Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC and one more yet-to-be-announced organization.

What to Know About Hurricane Helene

• Hurricane Helene first made landfall in Florida in late September, and over the next several days, it traveled through the southeast, leaving a trail of flooding damage and loss of life.
• More than 230 deaths were reported across six states — North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia — according to CNN.
• North Carolina returned the highest death toll. 117 people from the state lost their lives in the storm.

What Are Country Stars Doing to Help With Hurricane Relief?

• Morgan Wallen, a native of east Tennessee, made a $500,000 donation to the Red Cross to help residents of that area and the hard-hit western North Carolina region.

• Eric Church released a song called “Darkest Hour (Helene Edit)” and earmarked the proceeds for relief efforts.
• Miranda Lambert and her MuttNation Foundation created a fundraiser for relief efforts, with a focus on aiding animal shelters hit by the storm, as well as emergency response efforts. She made a personal donation of nearly $100,000.
