On October 17, Caroline Owens & New Company will perform a benefit concert, Bluegrass on the Blackwater, in the Carolina Civic Center Historic Theatre in Lumberton, NC. The fundraiser begins at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students.
To purchase tickets, call 910-738-4339 or visit the Civic Center online. All proceeds will be donated to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to help communities recover from Hurricane Helene. With assistance from the United Way of North Carolina, funds generated will provide immediate unmet needs through reimbursements to nonprofits working with disaster survivors.

A three-time IBMA Momentum Vocalist nominee, Owens recorded an album for Skyline Records, and now is a songwriter and newly-signed recording artist for Billy Blue Records of Nashville. She has performed alongside Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, The Isaacs, Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson, The Malpass Brothers, Darin & Brooke Aldridge and numerous others. The band features Spencer Stickland on mandolin, Ella Thomas on fiddle, Zak McLamb on bass, Chase Bennett on banjo, and Owens on guitar.
Owens shared a few words about the concert, and the great need in parts of her home state.
“I am beyond devastated for my western North Carolina family and friends, and all of those affected by this heartbreaking tragedy. But even in times like these, I’m grateful that we can use the gift of music, to help make a difference.
If you would like to help those experiencing great loss caused by the flood, purchase your tickets today, and come join us for a night of music. ALL proceeds from the night will go to the victims of Hurricane Helene.
I extend my deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers to all who are suffering. Let’s pack the night out to help them!”
