Granger Smith Delivers Aid to Hurricane-Hit South, Broadcasts Live to Raise Awareness and Funds
October 18, 2024Furthermore, Smith is set to release his final country album, titled 'Like A River, The Farewell Tour, Live,' with proceeds directed towards hurricane relief through the River Kelly Fund.
This album, recorded at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, Texas, will be available on all platforms starting October 18.
Radio host and singer Granger Smith is collaborating with the non-profit organization Hope Found to deliver essential supplies to areas in the South impacted by hurricanes.
A convoy carrying vital supplies, including water filtration systems, chainsaw oil, propane, and medical supplies, has already departed for the Carolinas and East Tennessee.
These supplies are aimed at addressing the immediate needs of residents affected by the recent disasters.
Smith emphasized the importance of having 'intel on the ground' to effectively understand and respond to the evolving needs of the affected communities.
In addition to the supply delivery, Smith will broadcast his iHeart Radio show live from Appalachia, a region that has faced significant power outages due to Hurricane Helene, using Starlink kits.
He plans to leave these Starlink kits in the region to help facilitate local communication after his team departs.
Smith aims to raise awareness and support for the impacted communities, expressing enthusiasm about iHeart's backing for this initiative.
