There are few men quite like Charlie Daniels.
A legendary powerhouse within the country music industry, Charlie is one of those relatively few people that always seem to keep his place in the world in perspective. His faith is strong, his arrogance is weak, and he knows in his heart that watching the sun set after a long day working outside is a far better feeling than pretty much anything else this crazy world has to offer.

So when a man like this reaches his 80th birthday, and the example in which he lives his life has the ability of reaching young and old, it’s a very good thing.
As Charlie celebrates his 80th birthday Oct. 28, chances are many country fans are already looking forward to the big celebration that lies in front of him come Nov. 30 when Charlie will join artists such as featured guests 3 Doors Down, Chris Stapleton, Kid Rock, Larry The Cable Guy, Luke Bryan and Travis Tritt to celebrate at the Charlie Daniels 80th Birthday Volunteer Jam.

“I am extremely humbled and excited for this year’s Volunteer Jam,” said Charlie in a recent press release about the event. “I think the fans are going to get a great variety of music from rock to country to southern rock with this stellar lineup, which reminds me so much of some of the early ‘Jams’ that we held at Municipal Auditorium. We are also going to be raising some well-needed money to continue our support of the Veterans through the Journey Home Project.”
