Luke Combs and Eric Church share heartwarming story of how they secured James Taylor for Concert for Carolina

During a press conference, Luke Combs and Eric Church shared the heartwarming story of how they were able to secure the legendary James Taylor to perform at Concert for Carolina.

Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"I have an inside story with the artists that are on this show," said Church. "We both kind of went through our phones and tried to figure out who we could get to, and I was like, ‘I have to get James Taylor.’ Like I just, I have to hear ‘Carolina in my Mind’ in this stadium. So I made it my mission and I'm pretty sure after talking to James last night, I think I stalked him."

"For a period of a week or two, and I had to go, I couldn't get his cell number, so I kept going through my phone to find who would know James Taylor," he recalled. "I had a friend of mine, Joe Walsh, who's in the Eagles, and I called him. Like, ‘I need you to get a hold of James Taylor.’ And Joe didn't hit me back, so I hit him again, and then I hit him again. And finally James told me last night on stage. He said, ‘You know, you really kind of freaked out Joe Walsh!’"
