Flood Relief for North Carolina

Tom Boyer and Natalie’s present “Flood Relief Concert for North Carolina Music Community”, a free benefit show (donations gratefully accepted) featuring a number of great area musicians including Donna Mogavero, The Everlasting Happiness, The Neal Havener Band, Columbus Soul and Salvage, Mick Broderick (Slide), and other members of the Irish music community! They will all share their music, hearts and talents in appreciation of those fellow musicians in North Carolina struck by the recent floor tragedy. 

As we all know, Columbus is an amazing music town. A fellow wonderful music town, Asheville, North Carolina, was devastated by flooding recently and our Columbus Music Community is reaching out to the musicians there who have lost so much, sending our love and open hearts to them. Please join us to support those in need and at the same time enjoy a wonderful evening of music.

At the event, donations will be collected and given to ArtsAVL, who is working to secure relief aid to support Western North Carolina artists in need and to help their creative community rebuild in Asheville and Buncombe County. Please join in this effort by making a contribution.

ArtsAVL is a nonprofit 501(c)3; EIN 58-1371546 – Asheville Area Arts Council (dba ArtsAVL).

If you are interested in making a large contribution via an alternate giving method such as a donor advised fund or gift of stock, please contact their Development Director Rebecca Lynch at [email protected].
