Dierks Bentley to headline Nashville concert for wrongfully convicted

Dierks Bentley is set to headline Nashville’s first “Justice Jam” on October 27 at Cannery Hall, a charity concert supporting the Tennessee Innocence Project and the Washington Innocence Project. Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready will join Bentley, along with additional performers and surprise guests. The event will be hosted by the two innocence organizations, with Tennessee Innocence Project executive director Jason Gichner framing the show as a way to translate Nashville’s music community into “real, tangible freedom” for people who were wrongfully convicted. Tickets go on sale Sept. 10 at justicejam.com, with a limited presale on Sept. 9. The bill also includes The McCrary Sisters, Terri Clark, Angie K, Jaid Joice, and Bobby Messano.
