“Our hearts went out to all those family and businesses that were affected by the storms,” says Eddie Montgomery. “We’ve been trying to organize something for a while, so we’re real glad this worked out with The Bull. This is our home and we want to do everything we can to help.”

Troy Gentry adds, “We were devastated to hear of the destruction that went through Kentucky. We are honored to help out and look forward to a big hometown party and raising much needed funds for these communities that need it.”
