Country stars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood raised $5 million for Nashville flood victims with a series of performances at Bridgestone Arena on December 16-22.

"Playing music has never felt better or ever felt more right," Brooks said. "I am really honored to have been a part of this happening."

So far, the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee has allocated $1.37 million from concert proceeds to Hands on Nashville, the United Methodist Committee on Relief - Tennessee Conference (UMCOR) and the Community Resource Center to help flood victims rebuild.

Way to go, Garth and Trisha!
