While most of Music City will be watching the Grammy Awards on Feb. 15, the stars of ABC's "Nashville" will spend that night playing a benefit show for the African Children's Choir at the Ryman Auditorium.

The show will be hosted by Connie Britton, who plays Rayna James on the show. Her fellow cast members Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson, Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio, Chaley Rose, Will Chase, Aubrey Peeples and Chris Carmack are all slated to perform. Special guests include Americana keystone Buddy Miller, who serves as the music director of "Nashville," country star Dierks Bentley, indie pop singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and the African Children's Choir. Tickets ($39.50 to $120) are on sale.

This is the second local benefit concert Britton has held for the African Children's Choir. Last year's sold-out event was held at 3rd and Lindsley.
