Country singer Drew Baldridge ("She's Somebody's Daughter") will play a fundraiser show Sept. 4 for a Nashville nonprofit farm to promote the Sept. 18 release of his new album, "Farm Faith Family."
In fact, Baldridge will play the concert at the farm, By Faith Farm, an events space and working farm
that gives away all its harvest to feed people facing food insecurity, according to a press release from a farm volunteer.Baldridge said it's the perfect way to kick off the campaign for his new album.
"I've always believed in the values behind 'FARM FAITH FAMILY,' and By Faith Farm is living those values every single day," Baldridge said in a statement.
"I've been fortunate to spend a lot of time performing in farming communities across the country,
and I know how much heart goes into serving your neighbors. When I learned what this organization is doing to provide fresh food for families in need, I wanted to be part of it," he said. "I'm excited to spend the evening with everyone, share some music and help support the mission."
Since it opened in 2011, By Faith Farm has donated more than 250,000 pounds of produce.
The $30 tickets and VIP tickets, which include a meet-and-greet with Baldridge, are available online at byfaithfarm.com/concert. The show starts at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 4, but the farm will be open earlier for people who want to pick a fresh bouquet of flowers for another $30.
