Darryl Worley To Headline Benefit Concert

Headliner Darryl Worley will be joined by fellow country artists Marty Raybon, Billy Yates, Ken Mellons, Randy Kohrs and Billy Ryan at 6 PM on Friday, April 24 for the Erica Carmen Droze Memorial Benefit Concert at the Boaz VFW Fairgrounds in Boaz, Alabama. For up-and-coming country artist Ryan, the benefit concert has a very personal meaning. Boaz native Ryan, whom locals know as Billy Ryan Droze, lost his sister, Erica Carmen Droze, age 24, earlier this year to a domestic homicide when her husband shot her to death in front of their two children and Ryan himself, who was in his hometown visiting her. Heroically, Ryan grabbed the children and ran with them to safety. Overwhelming support from several members of the Nashville music community, especially the aforementioned artists, led to the upcoming benefit. All proceeds from the concert will go into a special fund for the two children who were left with no financial security after the funeral costs. Tickets for the event are $15.00 and may be purchased by clicking here. Tickets are also available at the studios of WQSB radio in Boaz.
