Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W Bush, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush and Jimmy Carter will appear at Texas A&M University's Reed Arena on October 21 for the 'Deep From the Heart: The One America Appeal' concert.

The event will also feature rock and country musicians including ALABAMA,the Gatlin Brothers, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen, Sam Moore, Yolanda Adams, Cassadee Pope and Stephanie Quayle.

Country music artist Lee Greenwood will emcee the event.

After Hurricane Harvey struck Texas in August, all five filmed a video urging citizens to help out amid the devastating flooding.

'We love you Texas,' the elder Bush, who raised his family in Texas and served as a US Congressman for the state, said in the video.

Funds collected through concert ticket sales will all be donated to victims ofthe storms and distributed from a number of charities.

Some of these charities include:

*.Houston Harvey Relief Fund, focusing on the greater Houston region

*.Rebuild Texas Fund, assisting hurricane-ravaged communities across the state

*.Florida Disaster Fund

*.Juntos y Unidos Por Puerto Rico, launched by First Lady Beatriz Rossello and a private sector coalition

*.The Fund for the Virgin Islands.

Tickets for the event's 10,800 seats were first available Wednesday to Texas A&M students, faculty and staff, and will go on sale to the general public Thursday.

Prices range from $30 to $600.

Three of the former presidents, Obama, Bush 43, and Clinton were just together last week as they celebrated the opening ceremony of the Presidents Cup golf tournament in Jersey City, New Jersey, on September 28

Togetherness and One Nigeria isn't just about keeping the map the way it is. it's about working together to make the country favourable to all.

Even with the high level of racism in the US, when matters arises, They come together as one and help each other rise again. We need to learn from that!
