Kylie Morgan and her fiance Jay Allen are spearheading a sold-out show, the Fort Myers Beach Relief Concert, on Monday (October 17th). The benefit, taking place at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Nashville, will also feature performances from Walker Hayes, Ashley Cooke, Tigirlily and many others. After the duo’s wedding was postponed after Hurricane Ian devastated Fort Myers and other cities in Florida, Kylie and Jay decided to put on a benefit show to assist those affected by the massive storm.
