Award-winning country music artist Jo Dee Messina, accompanied by her band, will perform during a Nashville benefit for Closer to Home, not-for-profit organization on Sunday, October 2.

As a resident of Tennessee's Williamson County, Jo Dee Messina will perform on behalf of her neighbors in need and in support of Closer to Home.
