Message from Milton:
2025 Bluegrass First Class and ATS Records Support Recovery Efforts
In the wake of the recent hurricane, our hearts go out to those affected by this devastating storm, and we are doing what we can to help the impacted communities. Amid heartbreak, there exists a glimmer of hope, with strangers reaching out to support one another, neighbors forming bonds that feel like family, and an outpouring of compassion that transcends all boundaries as people unite to offer aid and comfort to each other. Along with many others, we have been sending much-needed products to Asheville and the surrounding areas, and we remain committed to providing continued support.
In addition to our immediate relief efforts, Bluegrass First Class and ATS Records are planning special events to further support the rebuilding efforts in Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee. The goal is to bring people together through music and raise funds to assist families in restoring their lives. As part of this, we will be offering free tickets to select families in the affected areas for our upcoming shows, providing them with hope and something positive to look forward to.
Bluegrass First Class at Crowne Plaza WILL BE HELD February 14-16, 2025!
Out of consideration for those impacted by the storm, tickets are slated to go on sale October 29, 2024.
I believe that everyone would help if they knew how, and that’s why we are proud to be partnering with Samaritan’s Purse a nationally recognized and trusted organization with a proven track record. As a former Asheville resident, I can personally attest to the incredible work they do. Samaritan’s Purse was among the first to arrive in areas hit hardest by the storm, offering essentials like water and food to those in dire need. They have been a vital resource on the ground, and we are honored to support their efforts.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the bands, fans, and community members who have reached out offering to help. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected. We are committed to doing our part to make things as “right again” as possible for so many in need.
Stay tuned for further updates on how Bluegrass First Class and ATS Records will continue to support the recovery efforts.
