Tim McGraw, Faith Hill And Emeril Lagasse To Host 'Feed the Soul'

NASHVILLE, TN (Soul2Soul II) - Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Emeril Lagasse will host a very special invitation-only luncheon, 'FEED THE SOUL,' in New Orleans on July 5th at Emeril's Restaurant. Chef Emeril will be cooking up his signature New Orleans dishes for 120 guests, and net proceeds from the event will go to the Neighbor's Keeper Foundation and the Emeril Lagasse Foundation, to continue efforts to help with hurricane recovery and the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast region.

Those attending the luncheon will also receive a VIP pass to the acoustic pre-show party and VIP seats to that evening's sold-out 'Soul2Soul II' Tour at the New Orleans Arena, which is also benefiting the Gulf Coast region.

'I'm honored to open my doors to host my good friends Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and to help support their charitable efforts here in New Orleans,' says Emeril Lagasse. 'I want to personally thank them for bringing their Soul2Soul II tour to the city, and for offering their time to support the Emeril Lagasse Foundation. What a positive event for New Orleanians to look forward to this summer.'

The Soul2Soul II concert will take place on July 5th at 7:30PM at the New Orleans Arena, and is intended to bring together New Orleans residents, as well as all those from the surrounding areas, in the spirit of renewal. As part of that effort, organizers have lowered the usual 'Soul2Soul II' Tour ticket prices to between $20 and $85 and Tim and Faith have insisted on distributing half the floor seats to volunteers in the area who have worked tirelessly over the past nine months since Katrina first hit the region on August 29th, 2005.
