The concert announcement comes after the former presidents launched the One America Appeal last month in an effort to raise money for hurricane relief. In a public service announcement, Clinton says, "Hurricane Harvey brought terrible destruction -- but it also brought out the best in humanity."
Bush Sr. says in a statement about the upcoming concert, "The 43rd President [Bush Jr.] and I, and our distinguished colleagues in this 'One America Appeal,' are very grateful to these wonderful performers -- some of them old friends, some of them new -- for giving their time and talent to help the urgent cause of hurricane recovery in Texas, Florida and the Caribbean. It's important that those affected by these devastating storms know that, even if the path to recovery feels like a road that goes on forever, we're with them for the long haul."
All proceeds from the concert will go to the effort. Tickets are now on sale at Bush41.org.
"Thanks to our generous underwriters, every dollar you spend to attend Deep from the Heart will go to help these storm victims start the process of healing and recovering. With top musical talent from Texas and beyond, it promises to be an uplifting, unforgettable night," reads a statement on the site.
