Ringo Starr got help from a new group of friends Tuesday night at the first of his two benefit concerts at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
Jack White, Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, Emmylou Harris and Molly Tuttle were among the special guests for the evening. The show featured country-tinged renditions of Beatles and Starr solo classics, including three songs from Starr’s new country-influenced album Look Up: The title track, “Thankful” and “Time on My Hands.”
You can see the full set list as well as some fan-shot video and photos from the show below. The concerts will be used to raise funds for Los Angeles wildfire relief.
