Last year I happened to be passing through Terre Haute, IN on 9/11. Knowing that I would be stopping to sleep there with no scheduled show that night, and also feeling the weight of that date and all the lives lost, I decided to reach out to the fire department there and offer to play a show for free at one of their fire stations for the firefighters and EMTs. (I may not have much to offer but I can certainly provide some entertainment for a night.) I was welcomed into the Sugar Creek Fire Dept and I put on a full show for just the few that were there in what would come to be my favorite stop on that trip. It was a blast hanging with those gentlemen!
This year when I started to plan another free show with the main Terre Haute FD, there were so many folks interested it was determined that it wouldn’t be safe to host the show at a firehouse. So Capt. Arnold talked to the owner of the premiere music venue in Terre Haute - THE VERVE! Connie dug what I was wanting to do and offered to host the show, so if you see her that night please make sure to thank her!
Everyone is welcome but the show is indeed FOR Terre Haute first responders and their families.
Tuesday, September 9th is a weeknight so we’re starting a little earlier at 6:30p - but that’s just so we can have even more of a good time together!
No cover.
CDs and merch available at the show. (50% OFF for first responders)
I’ve made it a habit to go up and personally thank firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and police every time I see them out on duty. They are some of the best people around and this show is just another way of showing them how much they are appreciated.
I can’t wait to see y’all there!
