Riley Green, Jon Pardi & Kassi Ashton are among the performers
Drake White has assembled a blockbuster lineup for his second Benefit For The Brain concert at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on November 17th. Revealing what fans can expect, the stacked bill includes Riley Green, Jon Pardi, Kassi Ashton, and more special guests alongside White.
Tickets are on sale now.
Promising to be an inimitable and unforgettable experience in support of a great cause, White’s non-profit The Benefit For The Brain will donate and disperse proceeds from the show to select charity organizations covering three pillars close to the White’s heart: mental wellness for military and veterans, especially PTSD; brain health in children and adolescents, and innovative approaches to stroke recovery and neurological treatment. The inaugural installment sold out the Ryman, welcomed a diverse cohort of A-list artists (Green, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Colbie Caillat), and raised over $253,000.
Back in 2019, White’s life changed forever during a show in Roanoke, VA. Everything seemed fine until he started to play “The Coast Is Clear.” Right in the middle of the song, he endured a stroke and suddenly collapsed. In the aftermath of this fateful evening, he was diagnosed with Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and underwent an unprecedented seven brain surgeries conducted by Nashville-based neurosurgeon Dr. Mericle. With the love of family, friends, and his incredible fanbase, he fought through it all. He returned to the stage and resumed his recording career, and devoted himself to “the battle between your ears” by introducing Benefit For The Brain in 2023.
White will be canvassing North America on tour through the end of 2025. He will headline his Keep It Movin’ Tour in the fall, and he’s set to rejoin Riley Green for the second leg of the Damn Country Music Tour. Plus, he’ll appear at various festivals and will play shows with friends such as Chase Rice, Travis Tritt, and Colt Ford.
