    AceShowbiz – Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Avril Lavigne are to front an upcoming day-long online benefit to raise funds for a Nashville, Tennessee-area charity feeding frontline workers and others affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
    Feed the Front Line Live, which McGraw and Hill co-founded in March, will take place next week, May 20, and also feature performances and appearances from Sheryl Crow, Billy Ray Cyrus, Dustin Lynch, Jon Pardi, Kelsea Ballerini and Rita Wilson, who battled COVID-19 earlier this spring in Australia.
    The livestream will air during the three traditional meal times – breakfast (10 A.M. ET), lunch (2 P.M. ET) and dinner (8 P.M. ET) – with different artists appearing in each segment.
    Fans can tune in via CMT’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/cmt/) and donate at FTFL.org. Proceeds will help pay staff at participating restaurants to cook meals, which are then delivered, free of charge, to area workers and others in need.
    “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,” Tim and Faith’s daughter Maggie McGraw, the FTFL Nashville chapter’s vice president, says. “We hope viewers that are able to make a donation will consider doing so to help us bring more food to more people across the country.”

    According to TasteofCountry, Feed the Front Line has raised more than $750,000 (£613,000) and delivered almost 50,000 meals.

    AceShowbiz – Brad Paisley’s livestreamed concert from home turned into an all-star affair on Thursday night (March 19) when he was joined by pals Carrie Underwood and Tim McGraw.
    The country superstar asked fans for song requests via text before he launched the viral show, which also featured his actress wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley as his roadie.
    And after performing hits like “Mud on the Tires” and “Old Alabama”, Brad was joined by Underwood, who jumped on a video chat for “Remind Me”, while McGraw joined in the fun for a rendition of George Strait’s “The Fireman”.

    Chris Young also joined Paisley via chat to sing “I’m Still a Guy”, and was so thrilled by the concert-from-home initiative, he promised fans he would be staging a similar livestream gig “very soon”.

    Brad and his pals weren’t the only country stars getting together for viral performances from self-isolation on Thursday night – Willie Nelson revamped his cancelled Luck Reunion festival as an online event and invited artists like Jewel Kilcher, Lucinda Williams, Margo Price, and Nathaniel Rateliff to offer up performances from home.
