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.

Hear how to find a co-founder on TechCrunch LiveSuccessful startups need a solid founding team of like-minded people. But how do you find and hire others to help build, sell, and manage your product? Tanis Jorge and David Blumberg are speaking about the importance of co-founders at a very special TechCrunch Live event, on March 1 at 11:30 a.m. PST / 2:30 p.m. EST.
Register Here
They know this topic well. Tanis Jorge co-founded Trulioo, and now runs The Cofounder’s Hub, a service dedicated to helping founders identify their needs and find a co-founder who works best in that situation. David Blumberg, of Blumberg Capital, was one of Trulioo’s first investors and put money in at every round, including Trulioo’s $394 million Series D.
I’m excited to host this conversation around internal partnerships. The importance of the co-founder is often understated. A good co-founder should offer complementary skills — maybe you’re good at coding but need help with business management. Or perhaps a good co-founder fit is someone who can help manage the emotional baggage that comes with starting a venture. And there’s no better accountability partner than someone who helped found the company.
David brings a unique perspective to the conversation too. As a prolific investor, he can speak to the VC’s point of view of having multiple founding partners in a startup. VCs often view companies with complementary co-founders as being less risky and more likely to succeed. I also want to ask him about his role as a VC in helping promising entrepreneurs find a co-founder.
I hope you can join this event on March 1. It will be great, and I’m looking to the audience to help ask some of the questions through Hopin’s Q&A function.
