Alan Jackson will be the headliner for a benefit concert in Newnan on June 26 at the Newnan's Coweta County Fairgrounds, the place where volunteers collected thousands of supplies for victims of an EF-4 tornado.

Tickets for the benefit, titled "Where I Come From: Tornado Benefit Featuring Alan Jackson," go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at AlanJacksonBenefit.com starting at $49.99, and pre-sale opportunities will be available.

The concert is Jackson's only stop in Georgia on a tour that runs through October.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Coweta Community Foundation, to support victims of Newnan in the wake of the storm. LINK

I got here to Newnan on March 29th for work. Man that tornado flat did some damage. Barely missed the downtown square, which is a great little area. It destroyed a lot of homes though.

There’s a mural of Jackson on one of the downtown buildings since he’s from here. I really don’t know his music but he does kinda predate the utter pop garbage that passes for country music these days doesn’t he? Don’t know if I’ll still be here but if I am I may try to go, if for no other reason to contribute to the community.

Me and the wife were talking this morning, we are seriously considering going. Tickets are $50. We live the next county over to the ESE(Spalding) and shop/eat in Newnan quite occasionally.

It'd be a great way to get back to the concert scene and to contribute to getting that beautiful town rebuilt.
