Benefit Concert to Take Place in Bristol, Virginia This Weekend for Nelons Family

Bristol, Virginia — A heartwarming benefit concert is set to take place this weekend in Bristol, Virginia. The event aims to support the Nelons Family, who are going through an incredibly tough time due to a recent tragedy.

Terry Blackwood, a renowned member of the gospel group The Imperials, will be the highlight performer at this event. Doors will open at 1 p.m. on Sunday, August 4, at the Crooked Road General Store. This concert is expected to draw a significant crowd, with all proceeds and donations going to benefit the Nelons Family.

This benefit concert holds special significance as the community rallies around the Nelons Family. They have been deeply affected by the recent plane crash that occurred last Friday. Tragically, three important members of the Nelons Gospel Group were among the seven victims who lost their lives in the crash. The plane was en route to the West Coast for the group’s involvement in a cruise.

This tragic event has shaken the local community as well as the gospel music community at large. Thus, the upcoming concert serves as both a tribute to the late Nelons members and a means to provide some financial relief to their family during this difficult time.

The Crooked Road General Store is the chosen venue for this tribute. Known for its rustic charm and welcoming atmosphere, it’s an ideal location for such a heartfelt event. The owners of the store have graciously offered their space and resources to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Terry Blackwood, the main performer, is known for his soulful voice and powerful performances. He has a strong connection with the Nelons Family and has expressed his deep sorrow over their loss. “It’s important for us to come together as a community during times like this,” Blackwood said. “Music has a unique way of healing, and I hope this concert brings some comfort to the Nelons Family and everyone affected by this tragedy.”

The concert will feature a mix of gospel music, heartfelt tributes, and community support. Attendees can expect a moving experience as various artists come together to honor the memories of those who were lost. The event will also include opportunities for attendees to leave messages of support and remembrance for the Nelons Family.

Local businesses and community members have been quick to show their support for the concert. Several have already donated items for an auction that will take place during the event. All proceeds from the auction will also go directly to the Nelons Family. “We’re overwhelmed by the generosity of the community,” said one of the event organizers. “It’s clear that the Nelons have touched many lives, and this concert is a way for us to give back.”

The organizers are encouraging everyone in the community to attend the concert and show their support. Whether you’re a fan of gospel music or simply want to help a family in need, your presence will make a difference. “We’re expecting a full house,” one of the organizers said. “The community’s response has been amazing, and we want to ensure that we show up in full force for the Nelons Family.”

For those who are unable to attend but still wish to contribute, donations can be made directly to support the Nelons Family. Information on how to donate remotely will be available on the Crooked Road General Store’s website and at the event itself.

As the date of the concert approaches, excitement and anticipation are building. This event promises to be a powerful testament to the strength and compassion of the Bristol community. It’s a reminder that even in the face of tragedy, we can come together to support and uplift one another.

So, mark your calendars for this Sunday, August 4, and head over to the Crooked Road General Store at 1 p.m. Let’s unite in music and community to honor the Nelons Family and provide them with much-needed support during this challenging time. Your presence and contributions can make a meaningful difference.
