Sold-Out, Star-Studded Country Event
Benefited Wounded Warrior Project
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Audacy hosted "Stars and Strings" at Hard Rock Live
at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL on November 2. The annual country music concert
featured performances from Jason
Aldean, Kane Brown,
Old Dominion, Randy Houser, Elle
King and Dustin Lynch, with
proceeds benefitting Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) in support of
veterans' mental health.
"Country music unites its fans in a way no other music format
can, and 'Stars and Strings' gives us the opportunity to connect
those listeners with some of the biggest names the format has to
offer," said Tim Roberts, Country
Format Vice President, Audacy. "We're equally as excited to have
partnered with Wounded Warrior Project to support mental health for
our nation's heroes and add a fulfilling layer to this event."
"Through 'Stars and Strings,' Audacy is helping to provide
Wounded Warrior Project with critical resources we need to serve
warriors," said Brea Kratzert Todd,
Vice President of Business Development, WWP. "We're committed to
helping injured veterans achieve their highest ambition through
free services in mental health, career counseling, and long-term
rehabilitative care."
Elle King kicked off the evening
with a blistering rendition of her new single "Out Yonder" before
bringing out "the cowboy" himself Randy
Houser. Houser then had the crowd 'letting their hand down'
during his hit "How Country Feels." The two then came together to
offer a lovely duet of King's "Worth a Shot" before King closed out
her set with an electric performance of "Drunk (And I Don't
Wanna Go Home)." Dustin Lynch picked up where Houser and King
left off and, in front of a packed house, led the second set with
favorites like "Cowboys and Angels," "Thinking 'Bout You," and
"Good Girl." Old Dominion got the crowd
on their feet with fan favorites "Song for Another Time,"
"One Man Band" and "Written in the
Sand" – the last per Lynch's request. The crowd erupted for
Kane Brown, who had the arena
dancing to exhilarating performances of hits "One Mississippi,"
"Like I Love Country Music" and "What Ifs." To wrap up the show,
Jason Aldean left his mark on the
night with "Tattoos on This Town," "Night Train," "Dirt Road
Anthem" and "My Kinda Party."
I'm Listening, Audacy's platform committed to more mental health
conversations, teamed up with Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) to
support veterans' mental health. Wounded Warrior Project has a
wide array of services to help warriors find their path to
resilience, whether their injury is visible or not. Stars and
Strings benefits Project Odyssey, a program from WWP that uses
adventure-based learning to help warriors and their loved ones
manage post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. Through
Project Odyssey, they overcome their invisible wounds, enhance
their resiliency skills, and are empowered to live productive and
fulfilling lives.
