On Thursday, July 31, 2025, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company will host Amplify Appalachia, a Helene Recovery Benefit Concert featuring Couch, members of the Steep Canyon Rangers and Aunt Vicki. This is an all ages event. Doors open at 5:30pm. Showtime is 6:30 pm.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Footprint Project, Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and other local partners deployed emergency solar and battery storage microgrid systems to restore power, telecommunications, and clean drinking water to communities in crisis across Western North Carolina.

These partner organizations are working with local, state, and federal entities to provide additional clean energy solutions for surrounding communities and to prepare for future storms.

Proceeds from this event will benefit Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and their efforts to serve Western North Carolina. More information can be found at WNCconcert.com.
