Carrie Underwood to Headline 'All For The Hall' Benefit Concert in New York City
Carrie Underwood is featured among the headline acts set to perform at this year's "All for the Hall" Benefit Concert in New York City.
With all proceeds from the fund raising event going directly to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, the "Jesus, Take The Wheel" singer will join Brad Paisley, Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris for what's being billed as "an intimate performance" on the night of Oct. 6, at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square.
According to Rolling Stone, "the format is an ode to the the classic guitar-pull format, a Nashville staple for decades, in which a small group of musicians gather together, taking turns presenting their songs while the other artists look on or add harmony and instrumentation." The first "All for the Hall" New York concert was held in 2007 and featured performances from Gill, Taylor Swift, Patty Griffin, Jewel, John Rich and Trisha Yearwood.
Proceeds from the event support the museum's Education Programs, which teach audiences about the enduring beauty and cultural importance of country music. Those programs are estimated to have reached upwards of 160,000 people last year.
Earlier this year, Underwood's dominance at the CMT Music Awards earned her the unofficial title of Queen of Country.
People magazine reported Underwood walked away with awards for Female Video of the Year for "Something in the Water" and Collaborative Video of the Year with Miranda Lambert for "Somethin' Bad."
Underwood, who recently gave birth to her first child with NHL husband Mike Fisher, now has 13 CMT Awards, more than any other performer in history.
"This is such an amazing blessing," she said while on stage picking up her fan-voted Video of the Year trophy.
