/by

Nancy Jones and friends will celebrate George Jones at “The Possum’s” 95th Birthday Celebration at The Nashville Palace” on Sept. 13.

Performers for the show will be announced in the coming days, and proceeds from the special birthday celebration will go to Concerts 4 A Cause and The George Jones Scholarship at MTSU. Tickets are on sale now here.

“George Jones remains one of the most beloved country music singers of all time and I could not let this birthday milestone go by and not celebrate,” says Nancy Jones. “George’s actual birthday is the 12th, but that falls on a Saturday and so many of my friends are out touring and making a living, so I decided to make the event the next day so they could come and be part of it. For the people that get tickets, they are gonna love this show! So many of George’s friends are coming to celebrate with us.”

“We’ve had the opportunity to work with Nancy before, helping raise money for two officers and their families following the tragic ambush in Huntsville, Alabama,” adds Josh Bleidt, Founder of Concerts 4 A Cause. “So when this opportunity came along, it fell right in line with one of our main objectives—supporting music education. We’re honored to work alongside Nancy again, celebrate George’s incredible legacy and help invest in the next generation of songwriters.”
