Grace Potter: Vermont Benefit Show

BENEFIT SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9 AT
HISTORIC FLYNN THEATRE IN BURLINGTON, VT

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

On Sunday, Oct. 9, during Columbus Day weekend, Vermont-based Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will return to Burlington, where in mid-August they drew 7,000 people to their inaugural outdoor festival, Grand Point North, on the banks of Lake Champlain. But this time they’re driven by a far more serious purpose.

They’ve put their heads—and hearts—together and organized a concert to raise money to go directly to Vermont businesses, farms and families devastated by flooding in the wake of Hurricane Irene. GPN will headline a benefit at the historic Flynn Theatre, marking their first-ever performance at the venue, supported by special guests to be announced.

Their goal for this special event, which they’ve dubbed “Goodnight Irene: Flood Relief Benefit,” is $100,000, and they’re hoping to exceed that amount, aided by the traditional lure of Vermont’s breathtaking natural beauty. Tickets are $30 for balcony, $50 for floor reserved, and $250 for Gold Circle (includes cocktail reception and meet and greet).

In addition, that same night there will be a silent auction at Burlington City Arts/Firehouse Galley from 5-8pm. Auction items to be announced but some big names from Burlington’s art community and beyond will donate.

All profits from both events will be donated to several Vermont charities including the Mad River Valley Community Fund.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday, September 20 at 10am at FlynnTix.org
