Eric Church’s efforts to help Hurricane Helene victims; Dierks Bentley and Zach Top’s tour | Music City Minute

Last year, Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina. Many residents are still living in temporary housing or motels. Well, The Chief is hard at work to change that. Eric Church’s Chief Cares Foundation has purchased property in Newland, North Carolina. Engineers are plotting a 40-home neighborhood, which will include parks and a community center. When completed, the homes will be gifted to families who lost everything during the historic storm.
Dierks Bentley just announced a full-scale summer tour! Bentley has recruited rising star Zach Top as his supporting act. The Broken Branches Tour kicks off May 29 in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, no Denver dates have been announced.
