One month following the 7.1 earthquake that struck Haiti, an
all-star cast of musicians is gathering for "Help Haiti Live", a
two-city ticketed concert event taking place on February 27th, 2010 to
benefit Compassion International's Haiti disaster relief Fund.  The
concerts are sponsored by Gaylord Entertainment Company and will be
streamed live at HelpHaitiLive.com.

Alison Krauss and Union Station
featuring Jerry Douglas, Amy Grant, Big Kenny, Mat Kearney, Jars Of
Clay, Rebecca St. James, NEEDTOBREATHE, Brandon Heath, and 
to-be-announced additional artists will participate in two concert
events, live from Los Angeles at the historic Wiltern Theater and at
Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium.  All talent and production fees have
been donated, along with streaming services (Livestream.com) allowing
proceeds of on line donations and in person ticket purchases to go towards Compassion's disaster relief fund.

Tickets
for each event will range in price from $25 - $75 and can be purchased beginning Monday, Feb. 15th at 10am CST
at Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster locations, by calling 800.745.3000, through The Ryman box office or

International's Haiti disaster relief fund.  All money raised in
response to the Haiti earthquake will be used immediately to re-equip
Compassion's local support structure and to provide for the immediate
needs of Compassion-assisted children and families.

Compassion
has been meeting the physical and spiritual needs of Haitians for more
than forty years and will continue to serve them in this time of need.  Already Compassion International has supplied more than
15,000 families with clean water, food, blankets, temporary shelter,
medical supplies and counseling.  Donations will help lay bricks, feed,
educate, clothe, heal and rebuild Haiti for many months to come.
