Music Builds: The CMT Disaster Relief Concert is a television special that aired on CMT in May 2011. The special is a star-studded concert that was organized by CMT to raise funds for those affected by the devastating tornadoes in the Southeastern United States that happened earlier that year. The concert was held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, and all proceeds from the event were donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief efforts.

The show was co-hosted by Erin Andrews, Ron White, and Robin Meade. Erin Andrews is an American sportscaster and television personality who is best known for her work with ESPN and ABC. Ron White is a stand-up comedian who is widely known for his performances on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Robin Meade is a journalist and television news anchor who is the lead anchor for HLN's Morning Express with Robin Meade.

The concert featured performances by some of the biggest names in country music, including Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw, and Vince Gill. In addition to the musical performances, the show also included interviews with people affected by the tornadoes and with volunteers who were helping with the relief efforts.

The concert began with a performance by Keith Urban, who played his hit song "Days Go By." The audience, which was made up of people affected by the tornadoes and their families, responded with cheers and applause. Following Urban's performance, Erin Andrews came on stage to welcome everyone and to talk about the purpose of the concert.

Throughout the show, Erin Andrews, Ron White, and Robin Meade took turns introducing the performers and talking to the audience. There were also video packages that showcased the devastation caused by the tornadoes and the work being done by the American Red Cross to provide assistance to those affected.

One of the most powerful moments of the concert came when Vince Gill took the stage to perform "Go Rest High on That Mountain." Gill dedicated the song to the victims of the tornadoes and their families, and the emotion in his voice was palpable. The audience was visibly moved by the performance, many wiping tears from their eyes.

Other standout performances included Lady Antebellum's rendition of "I Run To You," Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying," and Martina McBride's "Anyway." Each performance was met with thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

Throughout the concert, there were also appeals for viewers to donate to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief efforts. The show's organizers set up a phone bank where people could call in and make a donation, and there were also on-screen graphics that provided information on how to make a donation online.

In addition to the musical performances and interviews, the show also featured a special message from former President Bill Clinton. Clinton spoke about the importance of coming together to help those in need, and he thanked the performers and everyone involved in the concert for their efforts.

Music Builds: The CMT Disaster Relief Concert was a powerful tribute to the strength and resilience of the people affected by the tornadoes in the Southeastern United States. The concert not only raised much-needed funds for the American Red Cross, but it also brought people together in a time of crisis.
