Listen to Gary Allan on iHeartRadio

(Yahoo!) - When Gary Allan finished work on his single "Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)" and released it to country radio, the last thing he could possibly have expected is that a real storm--Superstorm Sandy--would devastate areas of the East Coast just a few weeks later.

What he did expect, however, was that his uplifting tune about pulling through in hard times would be a wonderful song to use in conjunction with a charitable cause of some sort. With that in the back of his mind from the beginning, it was only natural Allan chose the victims of this most recent, real storm as the ones he wanted to help. To that end, Allan is using the new video for "Every Storm" to encourage fans to donate to the Red Cross.

Watch the video here, then visit Allan's website to donate to the Red Cross--and you'll get a free download of an acoustic version of "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)" in exchange for your generosity.
