The Good Neighbours Concert is a benefit for the survivors of the fire. Coco Love Alcorn, Larry Jensen, ET Rhino, The Down Right, Our Shotgun Wedding, and Sons of Perry will all perform. Doors open at 7pm, concert starts at 7:30pm. Admission to this very special event is Pay-what-you-can. There will be a silent auction, and an intermission with snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.
