The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is hosting a virtual fundraiser this month, and some of the biggest names in country music are participating in the event. Big Night (At the Museum) will pair artists with historic instruments, and participants include Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Kane Brown, Brad Paisley, Ashley McBryde and more. The show will be streamed on YouTube at 8 p.m. CT on Oct. 28 and will be hosted by Marty Stuart, with audio supervision by Dave Cobb.

A preview video for the concert shows the participating artists in awe over the instruments in their hands. "I felt that I have John Prine's string grease on my fingers," joked Lambert, who played one of Prine's guitars. "I don't want to wash my hands." "I'm worried about my hands sweating on her neck," said McBryde, who was holding one of Loretta Lynn's guitars. Brown, who paid tribute to Randy Travis during the show with accompaniment from one of Travis' guitars, said, "Feels like I could play better." A visibly emotional McGraw, who played one of the late Keith Whitley's guitar, said, "I would have liked to have heard a whole lot more."

The performances were filmed in various locations throughout the Hall of Fame, which recently opened to the public after being closed for six months due to the coronavirus pandemic. The fundraiser will generate support for the museum and its work with exhibitions, collections preservation and educational programming.
