Erick Anderson Circle TV is honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Daniels with a special tribute airing on Sunday night.

There will also be a re-ariing of The Charlie Daniels Band: Live at Billy Bob’s Texas, originally taped in 2015, along with clips of Charlie’s appearances on Hee Haw. 

The night will culminate with the 30-minute tribute, Circle Sessions: Remembering Charlie Daniels, a retrospection on “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” singer’s Grand Ole Opry induction in 2008, plus career highlights and interviews with artists who have been impacted by the star, airing at 10 p.m. ET.
