Your ticket supports veterans

Proceeds support A Soldier's Heart Bluegrass & Muddy Waters, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing no-cost outdoor retreats for veterans affected by PTSD, military sexual trauma, and combat-related trauma. These retreats give veterans opportunities to reconnect with nature, build friendships, and find support among people with shared experiences.

Come for the music. Stay for the mission.
