Tim McGraw To Perform Benefit Concert

Superstar will perform on July 17 at the INFINITY Theater in Hartford, Connecticut with special guests For Sandy Hook Promise charity.

Tim McGraw has announced that this coming July, his tour stop in Hartford, Connecticut will feature a concert with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the Sandy Hook Promise, an organization founded in the wake of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT with a mission of protecting children from gun violence.

Tickets for the show will go on sale Friday, April 17 at 10 am through LiveNation.com and Ticketmaster. Featured performers will include Chase Bryant, Billy Currington and others who will be announced later.

“Out of this tragedy a group was formed that made a promise to honor the lives lost and turn it into a moment of transformation,” said McGraw. “Sandy Hook Promise teaches that we can do something to protect our children from gun violence. I want to be a part of that promise – as a father and as a friend.”

This cause is close to Tim’s heart, as it is to the fiddle player in his touring band, Dean Brown, a longtime friend to Mark Barden, a musician and father of a child, who was killed in the 2012 tragedy. “I look forward to being a part of a night of hope and promise and music that will help continue the great work that Sandy Hook Promise is doing,” said Brown.

“We are humbled that Tim would do this for us,” said Barden. “Dean and his wife Cindy helped my wife and I through our darkest hour and helped buoy our spirits.  It meant more than words could ever say.”
