Rock Band "The Resilient" with opener "Six Miles to Nellie"

Rock band “The Resilient,” primarily composed of severely
wounded U.S. combat veterans, will play in concert on
Sunday, July 20, at 2 p.m. at The Woodward Opera House, 107 South Main Street, in Mount Vernon.
Tickets are just $20 and are available at www.mvac.org and www.thewoodward.org
Veterans should call 740-462-4ART to secure one
free ticket and one free half-price ticket.
This event is sponsored by Knox County
Veterans Services, VFW Post 4027 and AMVETS Post 95, and produced by MTVartsand Nellie Six Productions, with support from the Woodward Opera House and the Mount Vernon Arts Consortium.
The Resilient’s focus is writing and performing music that reflects the inspirations and
hardships they've experienced in both their civilian lives and military careers.
In 2012, after suffering devastating injuries in Afghanistan, lead vocalist Tim Donley and guitarist Nate Kalwicki were rehabilitating at Walter Reed Military Hospital.
During that time they joined MusiCorps, a music program for wounded warriors, where they befriended professional musician and teaching artist Greg Loman. With fresh wounds and a vast new space to fill in their lives, the veterans plunged into the spiritually, physically and emotionally healing pursuit of music, practicing relentlessly and forming a lasting brotherhood in the process. Proceeds from this concert will be circulated back into Veteran programs in our community. The Woodward Opera House will also have vendor booths set up throughout the building with information based on the support of Veterans.
