The Country Music Hall of Fame is opening its doors to several performers for the two-day All For the Hall music event in Dallas.
The event will kick off on September 9 with Grammy-nominated trio Midland performing at a Patron Party at the home of event co-chairs Anne and Steve Stodghill (previously announced performer Vince Gill is no longer able to attend the event). The following day (Sept. 10), the All For the Hall benefit will feature Clint Black, Robert Earl Keen, Scotty McCreery and Carly Pearce performing a Nashville-style “guitar drag” at Gilley's Dallas.
This is the second time All For the Hall will be held in Dallas, with the inaugural event taking place in 2021. The event, which featured Trisha Yearwood and Brooks & Dunn, raised over $630,000 to support educational museum initiatives, including the Words & Music program;
Midland are gearing up for the release of their new Dave Cobb-produced album Just Blue, due out September 20th on Big Machine Records. Pearce and McCreery have just released new projects, including McCreery which was released in May Rise and fall album by Pearce as well hummingbird project, which was released earlier this month. Clint Black recently teamed up with John Pardee to release a unique collaboration version of Black's classic “Killin' Time,” which the two played at Nashville's Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest earlier this month. Keen recently saw the full digital release of his work in 2023 Western Chill.
The All For the Hall campaign began in 2005 when Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Gill had the idea for artists to contribute proceeds from an annual performance to benefit the Hall. The series has taken place in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville, with All For the Hall taking place in Dallas for the first time in 2021. Earlier this year, Blake Shelton hosted an All For the Hall event in Oklahoma.
Chairing this year's event are chairmen Lisa Arpey and Vikram Agrawal, chairmen emeritus of Stodghills, and associate producer Carri Hyde. Annabel Morgan and Emily Hyde serve as co-chairs of the Troubadour Dallas Ambassadors. Inaugural event chairs include Katy and Lawrence Bock, Terri and Kurt Johnson, Jonika and Corky Nix, Sunie and Steve Solomon, and Anne and Steve Stodghill. Entertainment producers include Rod Essig (CAA), Ken Levitan (Vector Management), Clarence Spalding (Maverick) and Jody Williams (Jody Williams Songs).
