Los Angeles, December 20

Singers like Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood will perform at the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute concert honouring veteran songstress Dolly Parton.

The eight-time Grammy winner Parton, will be the first artist from the Nashville music community to be recognised by MusiCares. She is being feted for her philanthropic work with the Dollywood Foundation.

Celebrities like Leon Bridges, Lauren Daigle, Vince Gill, Don Henley, Norah Jones and Shawn Mendes will also be a part of the gala.

MusiCares charity was founded by the Recording Academy to ensure music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need.
