CARRIE UNDERWOOD PERFORMS FOR 38,000 FANS

2 Sold-Out Shows at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival

NASHVILLE – (Sept. 1, 2009) – Carrie Underwood performed 2 sold-out shows this past weekend at Chicago’s Ravinia Festival. Underwood’s first scheduled “evening with” show on August 30 was the fastest sell-out in Ravinia’s history, which prompted the addition of a second show on August 31. The second concert also sold-out immediately and approximately 38,000 fans were on hand for the performances.

Underwood headed to Chicago after making a surprise appearance in her hometown at Checotah High School in Checotah, Oklahoma where her C.A.T.S. Foundation and ACM’s “Lifting Lives” charity donated $117,000 in musical equipment to the school system.
