When Tim McGraw and Faith Hill began planning a concert to raise money for flood relief efforts in Nashville and Middle Tennessee, they asked their friends to help. Those friends are gathering Tuesday night (June 22) for one of the biggest country music shows to ever hit Nashville.

The concert, Nashville Rising: A Benefit for Flood Recovery, will feature Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus, Montgomery Gentry, Amy Grant, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes, Julie Roberts, Blake Shelton, Michael W. Smith, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and ZZ Top.

The sold-out concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena is projected to raise between $2 million and $3 million for the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee in its efforts to rebuild lives disrupted by the disaster.

During a Monday afternoon (June 21) interview session with syndicated radio reporters, McGraw and Hill said the devastation that hit Middle Tennessee also served as a reminder of the spirit of the community.

“It’s so tragic what happened to this city, but it couldn’t have happened at a better place — if it was going to have to happen — because the community in this town just pulls together in a way like I’ve never seen anyplace,” Hill said.

“It’s a very hardworking town,” McGraw noted. “Everybody works hard here. It’s grown a lot since I’ve been here, but it’s still a small town, really, at its core. When you’re in a small town, if you don’t know somebody, you feel like you do. The neighborhoods are so tight. Instantly, with no thought about it, everybody was helping each other. I think the reason there wasn’t a lot of press about it is that there wasn’t looting, people weren’t breaking into people’s houses. People were taking care of each other.”

Many of country music’s biggest stars will band together for special concert on June 22, organized by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, to benefit Nashville in the wake of its devastating floods.

“Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert For Flood Recovery,” will be held at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The lineup so far includes the husband-and-wife hosts, along with Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes and others.

“The damage that we’ve seen to people’s homes and the effect that the flooding has had on their lives is unimaginable. But we’ve seen the spirit of our community firsthand, as volunteers, church groups and our local business leaders rally to help,” McGraw and Hill said in a statement.

“We all need to continue to support those in need in any way that we can, and for that reason we could not be more appreciative to all of the artists, the companies and the people behind the scenes who collectively will make June 22 a truly special night.”

Severe storms and extensive flooding on the weekend of May 1 left almost two dozen people dead in Tennessee. In Nashville itself, the Grand Ole Opry was inundated, and many country-music artists had precious equipment damaged or lost.

A star-studded benefit telethon last Thursday raised some $1.7 million for flood relief, in addition to Taylor Swift donating $500,000.

“Nashville Rising” will benefit the Community Foundation, which provides philanthropic services in Middle Tennessee. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 14. More information is available at NashvilleRising.org.

Faith Hill will move from the country music scene to the catwalk as a guest judge on the finale for Project Runway.As part of her duties, Hill attended the finale fashion show on Feb. 12, along with Runway host Heidi Klum and judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia.

Hill apparently brought more than a pretty face to the team of judges. “She knows how to get dressed on stage for performances, how to deal with the red carpet, plus we’re also talking about someone who’s a mom, who’s busy,” Kors told PEOPLE. “So she’s got all of that going on and I think she’s got great American style.”

Project Runway executive producer Sara Rea added, “She gave constructive, relevant criticism and had a strong point of view. We really enjoyed having her.”

Hill’s own thoughts on the experience: “What I saw was truly extraordinary and it made judging very difficult. All of the designers were creative and imaginative. But there were some whose craftsmanship was impeccable.”

Project Runway airs Thursdays (10 p.m. EST) on Lifetime.

I’m so excited for the new album!

Faith Hill has signed to Red Light Management, the same firm that signed her husband, Tim McGraw, to its roster in April 2009. Based in Charlottesville, Va., the management company also represents Dave Matthews Band. After parting ways with Borman Entertainment in November after 16 years of representation, Hill will be now managed by Will Botwin and Coran Capshaw. Hill is currently working on an album expected to be released later this year.
