Luke Bryan joined ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit and Music City, Inc., to host a charity fundraiser on Wednesday night (April 24) in Nashville that raised more than $100,000 for four Music City charities.

The event took place at Bryan's 32 Bridge Food + Drink honky-tonk venue in downtown Nashville, where guests got to participate in VIP meet & greets, engage in a question-and-answer session with Bryan and Herbstreit and take in a surprise performance from Bryan.

The fundraiser ended up raising $30,000 each for the Predators Foundation, Tennessee Golf Foundation, Titans Foundation and the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. The event took place in advance of the 2019 NFL Draft, which will see a number of special activities happening in downtown Nashville over the next few days.
