Garth Brooks' concerts raise $5M for TN flood

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee announced the total amount on Wednesday from the nine sold-out concerts. The nonprofit company already has $4.35 million in hand.

The concert series was performed at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.

The flooding was one of Tennessee's worst natural disasters, costing over $2 billion in damage in Nashville alone and killing 22 people across the state.

The proceeds will go to The River Fund, a charitable fund within the Community Foundation.

Brooks said in a statement that he was honored to have been able to help.

"Playing music has never felt better or ever felt more right," he said.
