BLAKE SHELTON To Headline 12th Annual "Stars For 2nd Harvest" Benefit 6/7

Blake Shelton will be this year’s headliner at the 12th annual Stars For Second Harvest benefit, slated for Tuesday, June 7 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

The event is presented by O’Charley’s and hosted by songwriter Craig Wiseman, also founder of Big Loud Records and Big Loud Shirt. Wiseman and Shelton most recently collaborated on Shelton’s single “Came Here to Forget.” Wiseman also wrote Shelton’s hit singles “Boys 'Round Here ,” “Hillbilly Bone,” “Green” (with George Teren) and “100 Miles” (with Chris Stapleton).

“Blake has always been a true friend and I’m ecstatic that he’s agreed to collaborate on making a difference in the lives of those struggling with hunger in Middle Tennessee by headlining this event and making it a party that our guests will never forget,” says Wiseman.

Shelton will headline after acoustic performances from previously announced special guests Chris Lane, Kane Brown and songwriters Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.
