With a focus on stories from Las Vegas’ heroic first responders
to messages of hope from the Mayor of Las Vegas, Carolyn Goodman
and many of the artists that performed at Route 91 Harvest
Festival, Entercom’s #CountOnCountry program this #GivingTuesday
aims to continue the healing process for listeners. Within the
commercial-free programming block and digital exclusives, artists
will encourage donations to the Las Vegas Victims' Fund.
“Country music fans are some of the greatest people in the
world. They’re the ones you count on in the toughest of times,”
said Big & Rich. “We are truly thankful to be your hosts for
‘Count On Country,’ and playing an integral role in bringing our
community together to give back. We look forward to curating some
meaningful songs, exclusive stories and sharing a little time for
us all to count our many blessings - both online and on-air.”
“When the unthinkable happens, people come together. We come
together to heal, to grow, to cry, to remember, and most
importantly, to help each other. It is in this spirit that we
present ‘Count on Country,’ a remarkable collection of music,
commentary and reflection surrounding the Route 91 Harvest Festival
tragedy,” said Pat Paxton, Entercom’s President of Programming.
“People put their fear to the side and were trying to help one
another,” Brothers Osborne’s T.J. Osborne shares in the exclusive
video, before shining a light on Taylor Winston, USMC 2006-2011 who
stole a truck in an effort to aid those injured in the Las Vegas
tragedy. Reba McEntire echoes, “Good always wins, no matter what
happens,” while Garth Brooks reminds, “It’s love that’s always
going to win.”
