The concert, presented by Citi, will benefit Musicians on Call - a nonprofit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities across the country. Doors open at 8:00pm and the show begins at 9:00pm. Both Dallas a Smith and Chris Lane are scheduled as the night's opening acts.
"For me music equals healing," shares FGL's Brian Kelley. "We are huge supporters of the work that Musicians On Call does to bring music to hospital patients and are honored to be a part of this event."
"We have been given so much this year and love to give back in any way that we can," adds FGL's Tyler Hubbard. "Always trying to make it bigger than the music."
FGL will also take part in the Artist Development Case Study at the Billboard Touring Conference on November 14.

"We are thrilled they and Citi will help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary. I've seen in person the joy that Musicians On Call can bring to those who need it, so I cannot imagine a better cause to be associated with our 10th Anniversary Concert."
