Jennifer Hudson is the titan among the intimate live-stream concerts happening Wednesday, with a performance she’ll be broadcasting from her home as part of Global Citizen’s “Together at Home” series. It takes place at 4 p.m. ET/1 PT on her Instagram Live channel.

Hudson even gave out her phone number — her “community” phone number, her reps clarify — in advance of the web gig. “My number is 312-584-4141 so text me! I can’t wait to talk to you all more,” she wrote on Instagram.

Also on deck for live performances Wednesday are H.E.R., Kirk Franklin, Annie-Marie, Gavin Rossdale, Declan McKenna (who just delayed his album release, but isn’t letting that stop him from taking to the web), Daniel Tashian (renowned for his work with Kacey Musgraves), the War & Treaty, Robyn Hitchcock and kid favorite Laurie Berkner, among others.

A big addition to the following day’s lineup is Dave Matthews, who’ll perform a half-hour set Thursday evening to premiere a new Verizon-sponsored series benefitting hurting small businesses.
