“Robin and I wanted to do something to help the victims of Eastern KY and the state with cleanup efforts and much-needed essentials,” said John Berry. “I wrote this song with my buddy Chuck Jones in September 2017 after the hurricanes hit Texas and I hope it encourages you to volunteer your time or donate money to help. »
Co-writer Chuck Jones added: “John Berry and I got together to write a song one late summer day in 2017, we had been watching footage of Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana over the weekend. previous. We felt compelled to write about this devastation. When we played the song for John’s wife, Robin, she had the great idea to use the song to help raise money for the victims of this flood, as well as the victims of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The resulting recording and video for “All Come Together” brought together more than a dozen country, pop and gospel artists, videographers, studios and engineers, all donating their time and talents to this cause. The recent tragic flooding in Eastern Kentucky has, for many, meant the loss of everything they have. So it seemed like the right thing to do to resurrect our song and video as a fundraiser for these unfortunate people. I feel privileged to be a part of any healing this might bring!
“It was such an honor for me to be a part of this incredible song and video with John and so many fantastic artists. A strong reminder that natural disasters keep happening, and usually when they do, it brings out the best in people! That is certainly the case in this situation. It is my sincere hope and prayer that this project will help rally people to help their neighbor and support and bless the flood victims of the great state of Kentucky,” said Collin Raye.
“When my manager, Brian Smith, called me to ask if I would participate in a song to benefit victims of the Hurricane Harvey floods in 2017, I was all in. Now another flood has hit my beloved Kentucky. It felt right to resurrect this powerful song and video and share it again in the hopes that it will compel people to pitch in to help, either as volunteers or with whatever contribution they can offer,” shared John Cowan.
“Our hearts are breaking as we see the devastation caused by the recent flooding in Eastern Kentucky. No one can understand how frightening and powerful Mother Nature can be until you experience it first hand. We send many thoughts and prayers to everyone affected during this most difficult time. In difficult times, music can bring comfort and hope. A few years ago, we had the chance to collaborate with John Berry on the recording of “All Come Together”, a song he wrote with Chuck Jones following the floods that devastated parts of Texas, Louisiana and Florida. As the song says, we know that the people of Eastern Kentucky will also “All Come Together” and turn to each other for strength through the storms. We hope this song brings some comfort and encourages people to help with recovery in any way they can,” shared Darin and Brooke Aldridge.
