Canadian country music star Brett Kissel’s benefit concert in Edmonton has raised 57 thousand dollars for victims of last week’s tornadoes in Tennessee.

Proceeds from ticket sales and money raised through action items, will be donated to Tennessee’s emergency response fund. The twister tore through a 16-kilometre stretch of downtown Nashville narrowly missing Kissel’s condo.

Kissel, who’s from Flat ,Alberta says he was floored by the level of compassion Edmonton showed for its sister city, Nashville.
