Birmingham to Host Benefit Concert for Women’s Support
Birmingham, Ala.—Mark your calendars for November 15, as the Wright Center at Samford University will be hosting a special concert event featuring the talented singer-songwriter duo, Ellie and Drew Holcomb. The musical evening, titled “With Gratitude: An Evening with Ellie and Drew Holcomb”, will kick off at 7 p.m., bringing together music lovers for a good cause.
Supporting Local Women and Families
All proceeds from the concert will go towards Portraits of Hope, a local organization dedicated to supporting women and their children as they work through challenging transitions in life, particularly in the wake of incarceration, drug addiction, and domestic violence. This concert not only promises an enchanting night of music but also gives attendees a chance to contribute to a vital community cause.
A Night of Music and Community Spirit
The Holcombs, renowned for their heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies, will bring a mix of their recent works along with fan-favorite songs. Earlier this year, the duo’s band, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, released their latest album, “Strangers No More”, which quickly garnered praise and includes the number-one Americana single, “Find Your People”. Ellie has also made waves with her solo career; her recent album, “All My Days”, is noted as a touching collection of Psalms.
The couple has a significant history in the music industry and has toured extensively in Alabama earlier this year, captivating audiences with their harmonies and storytelling. Their return to the state for this benefit concert aims to unite the community even further through the power of music and compassion.
How to Get Involved
Tickets for the event are available for purchase, giving everyone the chance to enjoy a lovely evening while supporting an important cause.
