Bobby Bones 'Million Dollar Show' Raises $22M for St. JudeBobby Bones & The Raging Idiots celebrated a sold-out 6th Annual Million Dollar Show at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, raising $200,000 and counting for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In addition to performances from Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots, the show included performances from Parker McCollum, Randy Houser, Deana Carter, Michelle Branch, The Wreckers, Madeline Edwards, and Dave’s Highway. Fans enjoyed several surprise guests including Dierks Bentley, Creed’s Scott Stapp, Lady A’s Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood, Morgan Evans, and Jake Owen.

Members of multi-platinum trio Lady A, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood, first took the stage to perform a recently released solo song from Kelley, “As Far As You Could” as well as Lady A’s “Love Don’t Live Here." Kelley and Haywood were then joined by a special guest, Addie Pratt, a former patient at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and country music enthusiast. Addie sang an original song she wrote with Kelley, Haywood, and producer Nathan Chapman titled “The Woman That I Am,” with Kelley and Haywood providing musical support to accompany her on stage. 

Jake Owens

Toward the end of the show, Bones was also surprised with an award presented by country hitmaker Jake Owen and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to recognize his avid support of the organization. Since 2014, Bobby Bones and The Bobby Bones Show have raised over $22 million for the cause. Additionally, the all-star, sold-out event was recorded for an upcoming broadcast on The Circle Network and on iHeartRadio with broadcast dates to be announced soon. In addition to his work surrounding the Million Dollar Show, Bones is gearing up to guest host The Rich Eisen Show next week and recently served as co-host of this year’s Live from E!: Grammys red carpet alongside E!’s Laverne Cox.

Music creators and independent labels – have your voice heard!MIDiA is currently fielding two separate surveys that will help us create the definitive view of the contribution from music creators and independent labels to the global music market. We are exploring what it means to be a label and a creator in today’s fast-changing and challenge-strewn music business. We are listening to what challenges they face and how they feel about the coming year.

We have already got some great responses, but we want more! Not only will these surveys give you the chance to have your voice heard, we will share a summary of the results with all respondents. This means you will be able to benchmark yourself against your peers to get a better sense of how you are doing and assess whether your concerns and aspirations are shared by others.

Crucially, we do not share ANY respondent-level data. What this means is that your responses only ever go into the total average responses. Nothing is ever attributable to you and we have a comprehensive privacy and data protection policy that you can read when you take the survey.

The two surveys are:

Music creator survey: if you are an artist, songwriter, producer / engineer, performer, sound designer, and / or composer then this survey is the one for you. Click here to take the survey

Independent label survey: if you are a record label or distributor of any size that is not a division of a major record label, then this is the survey for you. Click here to take the survey. (Note – the extra reason for independent labels and distributors to take this survey is that we use the data to help create the global market shares data, to create the most accurate reflection of the contribution of independents possible)
