Mile of Love Featuring Nick Gonnering & Friends
October 17 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Join us for Mile of Love, a series of benefit events supporting victims of Hurricane Helene. The affected area was home not only to a vibrant music scene, but also to a number of artists we have gotten to know and appreciate for their talents and human spirit through Mile of Music and other local appearances in recent years.
On Thursday, October 17, Nick Gonnering & Friends from 7:30 to 10 p.m. (ish), featuring Nick and his duo partner, Brent Felchlin on mandolin. Nick has also invited other guest musicians to join in for this night of sharing some important messages from the Asheville area along with music for the soul. Nick’s partner Alicia will also help co-host along with the Gibson staff. No admission, just donate what feels right.
Nick and his partner, Alicia, lived for several years in the Asheville metro area before returning to live in the De Pere/Green Bay/Fox Valley. They have many friends and fans in the area who have been impacted in numerous ways by the storm and the massive flooding. We will work through Nick, Alicia and Pierce to channel any dollars from the fundraiser directly to families and we’ll report back on how the dollars are making a difference, even if in very small ways compared to the extensive need.
There’s no set cost to attend the shows this weekend, we only ask that you put what you can or what you feel good about donating into The Giving Drum each night that you attend. You are welcome to come to all the shows, parts of the shows, just one show…or, as noted, just stop by and say hello, sign the message board, and place your donation into the Drum. (Check out our other Mile of Love events here on Facebook.) There will be snacks, information shared, and we’ll also be providing a percentage of the bar sales for the three shows (and from Wednesday’s listening room show) to the overall donation total.
Doors will open at 6:30pm for the 7:30pm show. Event is 21+
