About Charlie Daniels:
From his Dove Award-winning gospel albums to his genre-defining southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America's musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor, and still a road warrior at age 83, Daniels parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children, and others in need. The Charlie Daniels Band has long populated radio with memorable hits and his signature song, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Over the course of his career, Daniels received numerous accolades, including his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Musicians Hall of Fame and becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Daniels helps to shine the spotlight on the many causes that were close to his heart. He was a staunch supporter of the military and lent his time and talent to numerous charitable organizations, including The Journey Home Project, that he founded in 2014 with his manager, David Corlew, to help veterans of the United States Armed Forces. 

About Vince and Barbara Dooley:
Vince and Barbara Dooley are known and loved throughout Georgia, not only for the decades they devoted to the University of Georgia football and athletics programs, but also for their tireless efforts in supporting worthwhile causes in Georgia.

He has been the recipient of most of the nation’s highest honors including his recent recognition as the recipient of the John Wooden Citizen Cup Award in 2016 for positive influence on the lives of others,the 2010 Bear Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award which recognizes excellence in coaching on and off the field during a career, and the Duffy Daugherty Memorial Award in 2012 for contributions to amateur football. His contributions to the University were recognized in 2008 with the dedication of the Vince Dooley Athletic Complex on Nov. 29, 2008.  A special statue and garden commemorate his accomplishments along with the naming of all the south campus athletic facilities in his honor. His contributions to coaching and athletics administration are significantly defined by his place as the only person ever to hold the presidency of both the American Football Coaches Association and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. 

About John and Robin Berry:
Although John Berry is a household name, his wife, Robin, has been a partner with him on the road, behind the scenes and on stage with him since 1991. They first met while Robin was attending college at the University of Georgia. Shortly after their marriage in 1988, John was asked to perform a Christmas service at the church that Robin grew up at, Green Acres Baptist. Realizing the congregation would love for her to sing with him, it was then he realized that she had a sweet voice and the ability to harmonize. She also had incredible ideas about putting the show together and he especially enjoyed her being on stage with him. The couple has raised three successful children, Sean, Kayla Marie and Caelan, who are all married and leading meaningful lives. They recently became grandparents with their first granddaughter and are enjoying this season of their lives.
