Montgomery Gentry Help The Homeless

Before heading to Binghamton, Toyota Country Lights Festival headliners Montgomery Gentry have a full concert schedule and will be headlining a benefit concert for the homeless on May 9th called "Hits For The Homeless"

The concert takes place in Franklin Tennessee and according to Taste of Country, will feature an "intimate acoustic performance" by the duo, followed by a dinner and a silent auction.    All proceeds raised from the evening will go directly to Layman Lessons, which supplies bottled water canteens, survival rescue blankets and food for the local homeless.

“I feel so fortunate to have Eddie and Troy sign on for this event,” Layman Lessons founder Louie Johnston, Jr. says in a press release. “It is so important to spread the word about Layman Lessons and raise money for a great cause in Middle Tennessee.”

Layman Lessons has served people with addictions, homelessness and mental illness in the local community for 30 years. It is a cause important to the duo, as last year Eddie Montgomery’s son, Hunter, died of an overdose. His ex-wife opened up about the loss of their 19-year-old son in the hopes that their family’s story might help others.
