Nashville Zoo and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) are teaming up to offer a virtual music benefit concert “All Together for Animals.” This all-star benefit concert will feature streamed original performances from Brad Paisley, Old Dominion, Ashley McBryde, Riley Green, Jessie James Decker, Shy Carter, and Wynonna! The event emcee is Cody Alan, host of Country Music Television’s Hot 20 Countdown and of iHeartRadio’s CMT After Midnite and CMT Radio Live.
Parts of the show including performances by Brad Paisley were shot at Nashville Zoo and highlight the award-winning Expedition Peru: Trek of the Andean Bear and Tiger Crossroads as well as the white rhinoceros exhibit and other areas of the park. Other performances were shot at the Steel Mill studios in Nashville. Produced by Contemporary Productions in St. Louis, Mo., the program builds awareness of the financial impact AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums have suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic, raising funds for these facilities.
This event is exclusively for AZA members and will be streamed on Wednesday, March 31, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. CDT. For a contribution of $30, households will have access to the one-time event. Nashville Zoo will receive $15 from each ticket sold using the unique link below. During the show, viewers will have the opportunity to make additional donations in real-time, with proceeds directly benefiting Nashville Zoo.
