Eric Church, Maren Morris to Honor Jimmy Carter at All-Star Birthday Concert

Eric Church, Maren Morris, Drive-By Trucks, the War and Treaty and more will perform in honor of Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday in Atlanta.

Scheduled for Sept. 17 at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, the show is slated to include performances by Eric Church, Maren Morris, Drive-By Truckers, the War and Treaty, producer and DJ D-Nice, and keyboardist Chuck Leavell, who was a member of the Allmans when that band raised money for Carter’s campaigns in the Seventies. The alt-pop band Grouplove and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chamber Chorus will also be on the bill for “Jimmy Carter 100.” Killer Mike and Sean Penn are scheduled to be among the “celebrity guests” chiming in about his legacy. The range of artists, rooted in different styles of American music, reflects Carter’s own sensibility and diverse tastes, as the late Robbie Robertson told RS shortly before his passing last year.
