East Tennessee Highlands Hurricane Relief Concert

Come together to make a difference on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at the Oak Ridge High School Auditorium for the East Tennessee Highlands Hurricane Relief Concert. This special event, held from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, will feature an inspiring lineup of musicians and artists with all proceeds supporting hurricane relief efforts for families in the Tennessee Highlands affected by Hurricane Helene.

Featured Headliner: Wyatt Ellis
At just 14, Wyatt Ellis is already a rising star in the world of bluegrass music. Hailing from East Tennessee, Ellis made waves with his #1 debut single, “Grassy Cove,” on the Bluegrass Today charts and earned his place as one of the genre’s most promising young artists. Billboard praised Ellis as a “sterling newcomer” who made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2023—a testament to his talent and the deep roots of bluegrass in his music.

Additional Performers Include:

• Teryn Dixon & Friends – Known for their rich harmonies and heartfelt performances, this group will bring a soulful touch to the concert.

• The Collective Unit – Adding a unique, high-energy vibe, The Collective Unit promises a lively performance.

In addition to music, the concert will feature special guest DeanaBean, a local children’s author from Anderson County, who will be supporting the cause in a meaningful way. For every book purchased during the event, DeanaBean will donate a book to children in the Tennessee Highlands impacted by the hurricane. Her books will be available to browse and purchase at deanabean.com.
