A country singer is teaming with a local bar and grill to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina.
Sylvia, Kan., native Jake Gill is scheduled to perform on the patio of Chuck's Bar, 600 North Santa Fe Avenue, beginning at 2 p.m. on Jan. 17. According to a news release from Gill, there is no cost for admission, however donations will be accepted for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina.
“I am excited to be a part of such a great event for a Kansas town,” Gill said. “We are anxious to continue to our mission in aiding the many great non profit organizations in my home state and the Winter Jam Concert Series which provides a safe outdoor environment for families to enjoy fresh air and sunshine while getting to hear great music from our friends.”
Gill noted that he will be joined at the event by St. John, Kan., native Derek Staub, a rising star in the Midwest country music scene, and a few other acts.
During the concert, there also will be an opportunity to sign up to win one of six pairs of tickets to Heartland Stampede, where attendees can see Luke Combs, Toby Keith, Cody Johnson, and many more, the release noted.
After a whirlwind tour across the United States in 2019 and 2020, Gill has much to celebrate as his much anticipated fifth studio album, Maverick in Me, has landed his sixth song on the Music Row Breakout Country Singles chart. Baby I'm On It continues to be a crowd favorite. The project features 10 news songs and will feature up to four radio releases. Gill showed no signs of slowing down with the first of 12 shows in his new venue home in Nashville, the famed Hard Rock Cafe. His tour this last season took the singer to more than 37 states and 180 shows, according to the news release.
