Ringo Starr To Hold Concert Special At The Ryman Auditorium
On Tuesday, January 14, it was announced that former Beatles member Ringo Starr will headline a special two-hour performance titled Ringo & Friends at the Ryman at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to support those affected by the wildfires currently happening in California.
The ongoing fires in Los Angeles have destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. And as of now, there are barely any signs of them slowing down.
The hardest-hit areas include the Pacific Palisades and Altadena, where the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire have collectively burned over 40,000 acres. Tragically, the fires have claimed the lives of 24 people so far.

Starr’s Concert Special Will Include a Star-Studded Lineup
Starr’s event at the Ryman will feature performances of songs from his recently released country album, Look Up. Viewers can also look forward to exciting special guests joining him on stage. The lineup will feature Sheryl Crow, Rodney Crowell, Mickey Guyton, Emmylou Harris, Sarah Jarosz, Jamey Johnson, Brenda Lee, Larkin Poe, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, The War and Treaty, Jack White, and more.
But that’s not all. Starr and the supporting acts will cover several iconic Beatles hits. The list includes “Boys,” “Act Naturally,” “With a Little Help From My Friends,” “Yellow Submarine,” “Don’t Pass Me By,” and “It Don’t Come Easy.” All reimaginings will have a rumored country twist to them, according to Forbes.
“I’m excited to hear my songs done in a country vein and to play with this incredible group of musicians,” Starr said in a statement. “It will be two nights of peace, love and country music.”
Ringo & Friends at the Ryman will air on CBS in the spring. However, an official date has not been announced just yet. It will also be available for streaming on Paramount+ at a later time.
