This spring Jack Ingram, Toby Keith, Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles, Hank Williams, Jr. and Lee Ann Womack will help pay tribute to a music legend.

On March 16, they’ll take the stage at Bridgestone Arena for “The Life and Songs of Kris Kristofferson,” a concert that will salute the masterful singer-songwriter who has penned enduring classics like “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down,” “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” and many others.
