The Charlie Daniels Band's legendary Volunteer Jam - a star-studded, multi-genre musical extravaganza that has featured artists like James Brown, Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, Don Henley and Lynyrd Skynyrd (to name a few) - returns to Nashville on Aug. 12, 2015.
In addition to The Charlie Daniels Band, the highly-anticipated 40th anniversary event will bring a slew of special guests to the Bridgestone Arena, including Billy Ray Cyrus, Kentucky Headhunters, Montgomery Gentry, the Outlaws, Lee Roy Parnell and Travis Tritt, with even more exciting artist announcements coming soon.
"We never had any idea how big it would become," explains Daniels, "broadcasting around the world and on Voice of America. We thought it was a hometown thing. We never realized it would become an international event."
Profits from the night will go to the The Journey Home Project, a non-profit Daniels co-founded to help Veterans of the United States Armed Forces, and The Predators Foundation, which is devoted to funneling the excitement of professional sports towards the needs of this community, according to a press release.

"I hope to see more Nashville Volunteer Jams in the future. I'm very very excited to continue the Jam tradition 40 years later. Ain't it good to be alive and be in Tennessee."
Tickets for the once-in-a-lifetime event go on sale Friday, Jan. 30, 2015 at 10 a.m. CST, at the Bridgestone Arena Box Office and all Ticketmaster locations.
