Nashville, TN — May 20, 2009
A first-ever Guitars of the Stars Benefit Auction to benefit the Opry Trust Fund Friday, June 12, 2 p.m. at the Ryman Auditorium will give fans in town for CMA Music Fest the unique opportunity to bid on Epiphone acoustic guitars decorated by some of country music’s hottest stars as well as visual artists who are country music fans, themselves.
Among the stars confirmed to contribute guitars they’ve designed in celebration of their current singles, hobbies, favorite country songs, or country music heroes are Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Miranda Lambert, Craig Morgan, Dolly Parton, Pam Tillis, Carrie Underwood, and more!
CMA and GRAMMY award-winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist Wariner will kick off the event with a number from his upcoming project, STEVE WARINER, C.G.P., MY TRIBUTE TO CHET ATKINS, followed by auction fun. The Opry star will serve as Celebrity Auctioneer, and GAC-TV and 650 WSM radio personality Bill Cody will be on hand as emcee.
All proceeds benefit the Opry Trust Fund, which has for more than 40 years assisted members of the country music community in need of help with medical bills, living expenses, utilities, rent, and food.
