the
Civil Wars capped a night of eclectic music at the Grammy Block Party in Nashville on Tuesday evening (May 10). Presented
by the Recording Academy, the concert was held in Owen Bradley Park on Music Row and open to Grammy members and their guests.
The academy's charitable organization, MusiCares, announced that more than $1 million has been donated to flood victims since
last May. NasH20, another flood-relief organization, then presented a check to MusiCares for $26,000. The money was raised
through the auction of flood-damaged guitars provided by artists like
Vince
Gill,
Brad Paisley and
Keith
Urban.
Laura Bell Bundy, hip-hop artist Chancellor Warhol, jazz
guitarist Denny Jiosa,
Old Crow Medicine Show and Christian
rockers Royal Tailor also performed at the event.
