Three weeks before Carter’s actual birthday on October 1st, the celebrations begin on September 17th at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre. Let’s quickly discuss the event’s sponsor, Delta Air Lines, who is making sure that everyone is enjoying fantastic music and positive vibes.
Top musicians will honor Carter’s enduring legacy of service and humanitarian endeavors with some incredible performances. Chuck Leavell, D-Nice, Eric Church, Drive-By Truckers, GROUPLOVE, Maren Morris, The War and Treaty, and even the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chamber Chorus will be performing.
