Luke Bryan Helps Nashville Kids Keep the Music Playing

Luke Bryan says that from the first time he heard about the Country Music Association's Keep the Music Playing program, he wanted to participate. The CMA board member found his opportunity this year when he volunteered to emcee the Keep the Music Playing All Stars Concert at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville on Tuesday (Feb. 2).

"I remember when I got my own guitar it wasn't a very good instrument, but I was able to eventually get a better one," Luke tells The Boot. "But some of these kids who are in these bands are not able to buy their own instruments, so if it weren't for Keep the Music Playing, they might not even get to learn to play."

Luke says he was encouraged when he heard that the Keep the Music Playing program was funded by money raised from the CMA Music Festival, held in Nashville each June.
