Anne Wilson Announces Home-State Benefit Concert For Kentucky Tornado Relief
PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson will return to her home state of Kentucky for a special benefit concert at Corbin Arena in Corbin, Ky. on August 11, raising funds for families and communities impacted by the deadly tornado that struck Eastern Kentucky this May. With deep family ties to the region, the Lexington, Ky. native felt called to respond with hope and help through music.
All proceeds from the show will benefit tornado recovery efforts in the region, supporting both TheSheppard Family Foundation‘s direct work with families in London and Laurel County and the region-wide Appalachian Tornado Relief Fund. Tickets go on sale today at 12 p.m. local time via annewilsonofficial.com, with the concert presented in partnership with Rural King, America’s farm and home store.
“Kentucky is my home, and both the London and Somerset areas hold such dear memories for me,” shares Anne Wilson. “When I found out about the tornadoes that hit in May and the devastation they caused, I knew I wanted to host a night that could bring hope and raise money for those in need.
I’m so excited to be playing Corbin Arena for the very first time — the same venue where I saw so many concerts growing up. I’m praying this night of music brings healing, comfort and strength to those in need. I can’t wait to be back in my home state.”
Anne Wilson recently released her latest single “God Story,” a powerful reflection on faith, healing and the moments that shape us. It follows her breakout sophomore album REBEL and aligns her signature blend of worship and country storytelling. This month, Wilson will continue bringing that message to major Christian and country music festivals before joining Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem Tour for select dates.
