COUNTRY ICON TRACY LAWRENCE SELLS OUT RYMAN AUDITORIUM FOR SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, FOLLOWED BY HIS FIFTH ANNUAL MISSION:POSSIBLE CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the second year in a row, country music icon Tracy Lawrence took to the historic Ryman Auditorium stage on Sunday night (5/18) to perform to a sold-out audience. The lively crowd sang along to his countless hits like “Find Out Who Your Friends Are,” “Time Marches On” and “Paint Me A Birmingham,” in addition to a medley of tracks from stars we lost during the pandemic including Joe Diffie’s “John Deere Green” and Charlie Daniels Band’s “The Devil Went Down To Georgia.” Lawrence surprised the audience with special guest Marcus King, who joined Lawrence on stage for two songs, “Swinging Doors” and “Honky Tonk Hell.”
The next day (5/19), Lawrence brought together artists, athletes and celebrities for his fifth annual Mission:Possible Celebrity Classic Golf Tournament at Old Hickory Country Club outside of Nashville. The players included John Daly, Kid Rock, Vince Gill, Jordan Davis, Gavin Adcock, Zach Top, Lily Rose, Warren Zeiders, Priscilla Block, Charles Esten, Gary Allan, Mitchell Tenpenny, Meghan Patrick and more. The celebrity event raised over $200,000 this year for Lawrence’s charity, Mission:Possible, which raises funds and awareness for homeless organizations in Middle Tennessee and beyond.
Lawrence had a massive 2024 of touring – in addition to his sold-out Ryman show, he headlined countless shows across the country, including hosting his own “Tracy Lawrence and Friends” show during CMA Fest at Ascend Amphitheater. He joined Riley Green on the road as well as Luke Bryan for his Wrigley Field tour stop, wrapping up the year playing with Lainey Wilson in Las Vegas during NFR weekend. Fans can expect the same from the road warrior this year as more headline shows are to be announced.
The philanthropist saw another successful year for his Mission:Possible charity, donating over $430,000 in 2024 alone. Adding to his annual golf tournament and turkey fry events, Lawrence launched his very own all-natural injectible marinade, available now on his website with select proceeds benefiting the charity. Named “Tracy Lawrence’s All-Natural Injectible Marinade,” the product comes in cajun and creole butter flavors and boasts being gluten free, no seed oil, no artificial ingredients, no MSG and no sugar. Lawrence joined FOX & Friends to speak about the marinade, see the segment here.
Last year’s turkey fry set a new record of turkeys distributed, providing over 25,000 meals to those in need across Middle Tennessee. The benefit concert, which featured performances by Lawrence, Russell Dickerson, Meghan Patrick, John Schneider and Halfway To Hazard, raised over $250,000 for the third year in a row.
