SAVE THE DATES & GET READY TO HELP!

FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge will host BLUE RIDGE HOLLER on Sunday, November 24, at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke to raise funds for Virginia and North Carolina communities impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Akin to Live Aid or Farm Aid, Blue Ridge Holler is a free benefit concert where in-person and livestream audiences will be encouraged to donate to hurricane relief. FRIENDS funds all production expenses and, if needed, musicians’ travel costs.

FRIENDS invites all musicians to share their talents at Blue Ridge Holler in up to a 20-minute set. If you can't attend in person, you can still support the cause by sending in a video
performance. See instructions for registration and video submission here.

Additional Blue Ridge Holler concerts will be scheduled events at partner venues that have agreed to generously donate a portion of ticket sales to hurricane relief. That schedule so far features:

· Thursday, Nov. 21 (Grandin Theatre): Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast, with Florencia & The Feeling

· Sunday, Nov. 24 (Jefferson Center) FRIENDS benefit concert

· Friday, Nov. 29 (5 Points Music Sanctuary) Phat Laces

· Saturday, Nov. 30 (Floyd Country Store) Lonesome River Band with special guests Allen Mills, Jeff Midkiff, Junior Sisk & More

FRIENDS invites other venues and artists to be part of the 10-day Blue Ridge Holler series with in-person or pre-recorded performances via live stream.

Thursday, November 21st from 5:30 to 7:30
