Great American Country TV star Storme Warren will host a concert event on Tuesday, February, 2, 2010 at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville when Screen Gems films a climactic scene for the feature film Love Don’t Let Me Down, starring Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow and Superstar Tim McGraw.
Audience members receive the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be featured as extras in a film as well as hear some great music, including live acoustic sets by the band The Lost Trailers (which will open for part of Tim McGraw’s upcoming “Southern Voice” tour).
Admission is Free and participants must be at least eighteen-years-old.
The scene filmed will be the moment when superstar Kelly Canter, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, wows them at her big comeback concert. Playing Kelly’s opening acts are Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy), who, like Paltrow, will perform original songs written by some of Nashville’s hottest composers.
The actors will sing to pre-recorded playback as part of the filmmaking process. Other acts will perform live.
Tim McGraw, who will welcome the crowd, plays the non-singing role of Kelly’s husband-manager. He hails the concert as “an opportunity country fans won’t want to miss. Gwyneth, Leighton and Garrett are sensational singers, the songs are great and the scene is really exciting. They’ll also get the chance to hear my friends The Lost Trailers before we begin our tour on February 11th.”
Throughout the event, Storme Warren will keep things hopping by introducing musical acts and distributing special prizes.
The producers have invited Nashville-based charity SOLES4SOULS to be their partner in the event. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring pairs of new or slightly worn shoes (banded or tied together) that the charity will collect at the event and distribute to the citizens of Haiti. The Sole4Souls website is www.giveshoes.org

Love Don’t Let Me Down is directed by Shana Feste from her original screenplay. Her first feature The Greatest, starring Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon, was highly praised at last year’s Sundance Festival.
Tobey Maguire and Jenno Topping are producing via Maguire Entertainment.
Soon after a rising young singer-songwriter (Hedlund) gets involved with a fallen, emotionally unstable country star (Paltrow), the pair embarks on a career resurrection tour helmed by her husband-manager (McGraw) and featuring a beauty-queen-turned-singer (Meester). Between bookings, romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.
“The Kelly Canter Tour” is sponsored by Live Nation.
