CMA Fest is currently underway right here in Nashville with a number of events taking place this week, including “Country with Heart,” an annual benefit where songwriters come together to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
This year marks the eight annual event, which will take place on June 10 in Nashville. The fundraiser will feature appearances and performances by celebrities, including Dennis Quaid, Rex Allen Jr., John Berry, and more!
Country music artist Bobby Marquez helps host the annual event. Marquez also joined RFD-TV’s own Susanne Alexander in the studio for an update on the event as well as his other latest projects.
Taking part in the Country with Heart fundraiser holds deep significancce to Marquez, he says, after losing a special young fan to cancer last year, who was also St. Jude kid.
