Rory Feek, one half of the Grammy-winning country duo Joey + Rory, announced he will perform publicly for the first time since his wife Joey died last year to raise funds for the Music Health Alliance, a non-profit that helped his family with insurance and medical bills.
Feek stopped performing due to his wife’s cancer diagnosis and treatment. He announced on Tuesday plans to perform at a barn at his home in Tennessee on September 8 and 9 to celebrate his wife’s birthday. Joey died on March 4, 2016, at the age of 40.
The non-profit is asking the music community to donate 5 per cent of their earnings for one day to help assist others with medical needs.
