ABC’s hit new series “Nashville” is really pumping up its country music cred. After already having country stars Chris Young and Brantley Gilbert have cameo performances on previous episodes, producers announced that Kip Moore, the legendary Vince Gill, and Pam Tillis will be part of the February 27th episode. The episode follows the birthday of character Deacon, who is played by Charles Esten.

Kip, who is a fan of the show, shares on why he hopes fans don’t think the real Nashville isn’t as dramatic:

”I don’t think that everybody believes that’s exactly how Nashville is. Tell people to lighten up a little bit. It’s TV. You gotta put the drama in there, and you gotta do stuff entertaining for people.”

Check out the preview for “Dear Brother” below. Who do you want to see appear on the show next?

This year, Craig Morgan’s Charity Motocross Ride, Concert and Sporting Clay Shoot raised more than the previous two years – more than $95,000 – and that makes for a very happy Morgan.

Morgan was quoted as saying this about the results of this year’s event:

“It’s amazing how much this event has grown over the last 5 years and I’m over-the-top grateful to everyone from our celebrity friends and the Dickson and Middle Tennessee communities for their support. We raised a record high amount this year for Billy’s Place and I’m thankful for the opportunity to do more for the children and families of Dickson. I already can’t wait to do it again next year!”

Proceeds from the weekend’s activities benefit Billy’s Place, which is supporting children’s causes in Middle Tennessee and working toward building a home for temporarily displaced children in Morgan’s hometown of Dickson, just outside Nashville.

Morgan invited some of his celebrity friends to tag along for the big 2-day weekend, including celebrity pro Motocross riders Fred Andrews, Cowboy Kenny Bartram, Randy Hawkins and Kevin Windham who were on hand to exhibit their gravity defying skills. Also joining Morgan for the day’s adventures were fellow country music performers Bucky Covington and Sarah Darling, who took to the stage with Morgan for a big show that night. Pam Tillis also performed a laundry list of her classic hits.
