Country star Ty Herndon announced today that Ingrid Andress, Tiera Kennedy, Maggie Rose, The Kentucky Gentlemen, and Runaway June have joined the 10th anniversary of the Concert for Love & Acceptance which will take place on June 2 at 7:30 PM at Category 10, formerly the Wildhorse Saloon. They join previously announced performers Dasha, David Archuleta, Brooke Eden, Lindsay Ell, and Sam Williams. The event takes place in partnership with GLAAD.
“CMA Fest is such a sacred week for country music lovers, and we’re honored to be able to kick the week off for the fans with a night of music that brings us together and reminds us that we have a whole lot more in common than what divides us. This is a night about putting differences aside and coming together to say we’re all God’s children and our job is to love and accept one another,” said Herndon.
Founded in 2015, the Concert for Love & Acceptance has become a premier event during the week of CMA Fest, dedicated to fostering a more inclusive country music community. Proceeds from the event support Herndon’s Foundation For Love and Acceptance, which focuses on supporting the LGBTQ community alongside support for mental health, addiction, and trauma recovery.
