While country music radio businesses might be gearing up for one of its busiest weeks of the year, Country Radio Seminar (CRS), "Honky Tonk TV" (HT-TV) is getting ready for a Nashville event to raise money for a very important cause, City Of Hope, a research center  dedicated to finding cures for life-threatening illnesses.

The music entertainment television program has teamped up with CountryMusicIsLove to host an eBay auction in conjunction with the 2nd Annual CountryMusicIsLove Concert to be held on Tuesday, March 1, 2011. The event will be sponsored by HT-TV.

Beginning today, bidders can compete for a personal luncheon at Nashville's Hard Rock Café with the hunky country artist Ty Brown and tickets to the concert.

The auction is currently underway on eBay and closes on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 10:50 a.m. CST.

Hard Rock Café will donate lunch to the lucky winners who will share an intimate lunch with Ty before attending the concert, which will feature performances from Ty Brown, Chris Cavanaugh, Troy Olsen, Brett Eldredge, Thompson Square, Chuck Wicks and Josh Thompson.

Tickets are $20 and can be purchases at www.countrymusicislove.com.

"I am so excited to be perfoming with the talent that will be there and, more importantly, joining my friends in music to support such a great cause," Brown states of his appearance at the events. "I hope we raise a ton of money. No matter how much is raised, I know it will be appreciated. I am also looking forward to making some new friends over lunch!"

Producing a weekly half-hour country music and entertainment news show in Orlando and Tampa, FL across 3.3 million homes, "Honky Tonk TV" is a dynamic broadcast that also airs in Bakersfield, CA, Detroit, MI, Indianapolis, IN and Birmingham, AL. and in a shorter format, online at HonkyTonkTV.com following its original broadcast.
