Stars & Strings

The announcement was made yesterday, and the RAMP Newsletter reports the news this morning...

CBS Radio Chicago will present its third annual Stars and Strings show to honor our nation's veterans and their families, Wednesday, November 15 at The Chicago Theatre in downtown Chicago. The all-star lineup features Brad Paisley, Chris Young, Darius Rucker, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady Antebellum and Sam Hunt with a special appearance by Lindsay Ell. The announcement was made on Monday morning by WUSN (US99)/Chicago morning dudes Stylz & Roman. "Stars and Strings is CBS Radio's annual tribute to our nation's military veterans who do so much to protect our freedoms and our very way of life," said Chris Oliviero, EVP of Programming, CBS Radio. "We've assembled an amazing roster of artists to help us celebrate this special group at the landmark Chicago Theatre."

When I worked in rock radio I was always jealous of the masterful way country radio and country music stars worked together on events like this. Rock stars rarely do the same for rock radio.
