About the Performers:

Doyle Lawson, who lives in Bristol, TN, said, “As an East Tennessee native, I’ve been especially moved by the mountain tough spirit of my neighbors in the aftermath of this event”. Lawson and Quicksilver are seven-time International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Group of the Year Award winner, they have four Grammy Award nominations for best bluegrass album and they are a member of the IBMA Hall of Fame.

Leon Downey, executive director of the Pigeon Forge Department of Tourism commented that “For these stellar artists to step up and donate their time and talents to support Sevier County families is beyond belief”.
