Starr is recording the Country-leaning special titled Ringo and Friends at the Ryman on January 14 and 15 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Joining him on stage will be guests including Jack White, Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, Rodney Crowell, Mickey Guyton, Emmylou Harris, Sarah Jarosz, Jamey Johnson, Brenda Lee, Larkin Poe, Molly Tuttle, and the War and Treaty.
“I’m excited to hear my songs done in a country vein and to play with this incredible group of musicians,” Starr said in a statement. “It will be two nights of peace, love and Country music.”
While the special will be filmed in Nashville, some proceeds from the show will benefit California wildfire relief efforts. Additionally, proceeds from the release of a planned all-star performance of “With a Little Help From My Friends,” from the show will benefit the American Red Cross’ California wildfire relief efforts.
The special will air via CBS and stream on Paramount+ later this Spring.
