NORMAN, Okla. --
A concert benefiting Oklahoma tornado victims is drawing some of the biggest names in country music.
Oklahoma
natives Toby Keith and Garth Brooks are to be part of the star-studded
lineup Saturday at the Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert at the University
of Oklahoma’s Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are set to take the stage Saturday afternoon.
Other performers include Willie Nelson and Ronnie Dunn.
The
money raised from ticket sales benefits the United Way of Central
Oklahoma. That organization has established a fund to aid victims of the
tornadoes and violent storms that pummeled the state in May and killed
dozens of people.
A
separate benefit concert last month hosted by Oklahoma native country
music star Blake Shelton raised more than $6 million in donations and
pledges.
