CMT is Hosting an Epic All-Day Music Festival to Benefit 'Feed the Front Line'

From Country Living

  • CMT is hosting an all-day live virtual benefit festival to help support those on the frontlines of the pandemic.

  • All funds raised through the event will go to Feed the Front Line, which helps keep local restaurants open and feed healthcare heroes.


Another virtual concert is coming our way! And this one boasts a pretty impressive lineup.

On Thursday, May 14, CMT—along with a series of headliners—announced its latest virtual music venture, “Feed the Front Line LIVE Presented by CMT.”

The three-part event will take place on Wednesday, May 20, and feature "Breakfast," "Lunch," and "Dinner" live streams, including performances by Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Sheryl Crow, and more.

Before, during, and after the performances, viewers will be encouraged to donate to Feed the Front Line, a dual-mission relief fund set up in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic to help keep local restaurants open, restaurant workers employed, and healthcare heroes fed. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's daughter, Maggie McGraw, is the vice president of the Nashville chapter of Feed the Front Line, which helped to organize the festival.

“Feed the Front Line is grateful to partner with CMT and country music’s biggest stars in our mission to support restaurants and feed frontline workers and other people most in need during the COVID-19 crisis,” Maggie told CMT.

Anyone looking to make a donation can choose from six predetermined amounts—all of which are accompanied by just how much of an impact each makes—or enter a custom amount they’d like to give. What’s more, you can choose between a one-time or monthly recurring donation.

While you can donate to the cause at any time, to watch the must-see benefit, be sure to tune into CMT’s Facebook and YouTube channels on Wednesday, May 20, to get your groove on and help support those on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
