Songwriter Shane Stevens, organized the event as a tribute to George Michael and his elementary school teacher, who while hearing George’s song on he radio, told Shane, who was being bullied as a child, that he was amazing and he was going to be just like George Michael one day. Shane credits George as an inspiration to him.

The concert will feature musical performances from Sara Evans, Cassadee Pope, Desmond Child, songwriter Shane Stevens, country trio Post Monroe and America’s Got Talent, Season 11 alum singer/songwriter Brian Justin Crum.
