The Home hit maker’s 2014 Miles and Music for Kids kicked off in Columbia, Tennessee with Bentley fronting a motorcycle ride that ended downtown at Nashville’s Riverfront Park. Fellow country singers Randy Houser, Kip Moore, Jon Pardi and Chris Young also hopped on bikes for the event, and at the end of the ride, they took the stage for a star-studded concert. The event raised more than $335,479 (GBP210, 265) for Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Bentley said, “I was totally blown away by the outpouring of support we got for this year’s Miles and Music. This little event we started nine years ago has taken on a life of its own. I feel like I’m just a small part of this thing.
