NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Country music superstar Big Kenny is partnering with the gaming phenomenon Rock Band to bring relief and donations to Nashville's flood victims.

Kenny is one of the many artists joining Rock Band Relief, an organization that helps artists convert their music into playable songs for the Rock Band video game series. These tracks can be purchased from the Rock Band Network online store and a portion of all proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross to help with the recent natural disaster. Any part of the sales commission the artist receives and wishes to donate to Red Cross will be matched by RockBandRelief.org.

John Griffin, Executive Director of the Rock Band Relief project, said of the collaboration, "Big Kenny is a natural uplifter of people and has the ability to inspire hope in those around him. He is extremely well-respected in the music community, especially in Nashville where people are really in need of some hope right now. We're so proud to be partnering with him and we hope this project will serve as a natural extension of his mission to make the world a better place through music."

Big Kenny (http://www.BigKenny.tv) has contributed the songs "One More Time" and "Happy People" from his album The Quiet Times of a Rock and Roll Farm Boy. These songs are currently undergoing the Rock Band conversion process and should be available to gamers in about 2 months. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from all downloads of the MP3 versions of Kenny's songs via the Amazon links on the http://www.RockBandRelief.org website will also be donated to the Red Cross.

"Share the music, share the love. Get out there and throw around as much love as you can. Come bearing a light and shine it all around."
