JACKSON LENDS HIS HOMETOWN A HAND

Alan Jackson is heading back to his hometown of Newnan, Ga., to play a benefit for the victims of the March tornado that destroyed more than 70 homes and compromised 1,700 structures.

Where I Come From: Tornado Benefit Featuring Alan Jackson takes place 7/26 at Newnan’s Coweta County Fairgrounds. Joining Jackson are Chris Young and fellow Georgia natives Caylee Hammack, songwriter Adam Wright and Brian Wright.

Proceeds from the show will benefit the Coweta Community Foundation. Tickets for Jackson’s benefit go on sale 5/21.

Last week Jackson released his 21st studio album Where Have You Gone and sat down with HITS’ Holly Gleason for a wide-ranging interview. Check it out here.
