In honor of former President Jimmy Carter's upcoming 100th birthday, a star-studded concert is set to take place on September 17th at Atlanta's Fox Theatre. The Carter Center announced the event, titled "Jimmy Carter 100: A Celebration In Song," which aims to pay tribute to Carter's lifelong connection to the world of music.

Jimmy Carter's rich musical heritage includes being a distant relative of the iconic Carter Family in country music. Moreover, he has cultivated meaningful friendships with legends like Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and the Allman Brothers throughout his life. It comes as no surprise, then, that music has always played a significant role in his personal journey.

Jason Carter, Jimmy's grandson, expressed his excitement for the event in a press release. He noted that music has been a consistent source of joy, comfort, and inspiration for his grandfather, whether it be spinning records at home, on the campaign trail, or even on the White House lawn. Jason believes that a night filled with music is the perfect way to fete his grandfather's centennial milestone.

The Jimmy Carter 100 concert promises an eclectic lineup featuring renowned artists from various genres. Notable performers include the Drive-By Truckers, Maren Morris, Eric Church, D-Nice, the War And Treaty, Grouplove, and former Allman Brothers Band member Chuck Leavell. Ensuring a seamless musical experience, Ricky Minor will serve as the show's musical director.

The event is also expected to feature appearances from influential figures such as Killer Mike, Sean Penn, and Dale Murphy. While it remains uncertain whether Jimmy Carter himself will make an appearance, the concert undoubtedly aims to capture the essence of his profound musical journey.

As the countdown to President Carter's 100th birthday begins, the concert promises to be a night to remember, filled with exceptional performances that reflect the diverse musical tastes and influences that have shaped the former president's life.
