Description

A concert on a Kentucky farm sounds like a perfect summer night, but the real story is what the night is built to do: raise money to house homeless veterans and support veterans across the state. We sit down with country artist J.D. Shelburne, Brady Wright from Fire Mission Veteran Services, Aaron Garofola, and Justin Gallrein to share how Shelby County pulls together to create a veteran benefit concert at Gallrein Farm where the mission stays front and center.We walk through the full plan for June 13, including the VIP lunch, the meet and greet with J.D., and the outdoor live music experience. You’ll also hear how partners like Goodwood Restaurant and other local sponsors help make the event possible, plus what to expect on-site with food, parking, and opportunities to connect with veteran organizations.J.D. also opens up about his path from Taylorsville to a life in country music: discovering his grandmother’s guitar, building momentum through early gigs, and reaching career milestones like playing the Grand Ole Opry and playing on the Las Vegas Strip. That personal thread ties back to the bigger takeaway: communities change lives when they combine music, generosity, and consistent action.For tickets to this awesome event, head to https://gallreinfarms1.ticketspice.com/jd-shelburne-benefit-concert-at-gallrein-farmsIf you're interested in becoming a sponsor, please visit https://firemissions.org/contact/Subscribe for more Kentucky stories, share this with someone who loves live music, and leave a review if you want more episodes that spotlight local people doing real work.Send us Fan Mail🎙️ Kentucky Hidden Wonders is presented by ShelbyKY Tourism. 🥃 Plan a visit to Your Bourbon Destination® at www.visitshelbyky.com.
