Benefit Concert for McKenzie Community Land Trust

The McKenzie Community Land Trust (MCLT) is inviting the community to come together for an evening of music, connection, and support as it continues efforts to rebuild after the Holiday Farm Fire.

Welsh singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph, often called the “Welsh Springsteen,” will perform a benefit concert on Sunday, September 21, at the Richard E. Wildish Community Theater, 630 Main Street in Springfield. Known for his passionate performances and socially conscious songwriting, Joseph has inspired audiences around the world.

The concert begins at 6:30 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. for information and merchandise tables. General admission tickets are $25. Ahead of the show, MCLT supporters are invited to a casual pre-event gathering at Oakshire Commons from 4 to 5:30 p.m.

Organizers hope the evening will provide more than just entertainment. “This is a chance for community members, stakeholders, funders, and decision-makers to meet, walk, talk, and collaborate on the work of rebuilding,” said MCLT representatives.

Supporters will also have an opportunity to double their impact. Thanks to the generosity of several donors led by Generations Financial Partners of Eugene, all contributions made through the end of the concert will be matched, up to $10,000. Donations can be added at checkout when purchasing tickets, made online through MCLT’s website, or mailed by check.
