Country Life Music Festival Partners With St. Jude

Country artists have a long-standing history of supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and now they are signing up again to help the organization.

Brad Paisley, Hank Williams, Jr. and Trace Adkins are headlining the Country Life Music Festival, to be held July 18-20 at Ravina on the Lakes in Peoria, Ill.

They will be joined by Jennifer Nettles, Big & Rich, Montgomery Gentry, Kellie Pickler, Randy Houser, Josh Thompson, Charlie Worsham, Maggie Rose and several others. All proceeds from the event -- including ticket sales, merchandise, memorabilia and a text-to-donate campaign -- will go to St. Jude, in their ongoing efforts to raise awareness in the fight against childhood cancer and other deadly diseases.

“We are honored to be partners with St. Jude, this charity is very dear to so many in our community," Brad Maloney, VP of Blu Entertainment Group and organizer of the festival, says.

“St. Jude is thankful for this partnership with Country Life Music Festival," notes Michael Joseph, President of the St. Jude Midwest Affiliate Board. "The group of artists and business partners making this event possible are all long-time St. Jude supporters. Seeing the community embrace this event, country music and the mission of helping kids with cancer and other deadly diseases is truly inspiring."

Single and three-day tickets are available for purchase here, or by calling (309) 268-1202. Camping sites are also available. For more information on the event, click here.
