A Night of Music Under the Palms

“We are thrilled that Nanci graciously agreed to perform at Alys Beach for what promises to be an unforgettable evening,” said Kelli Arnold, Events Coordinator for Alys Beach. “To have an artist of her caliber and the only fully professional symphony orchestra in our region committed to a charitable cause mimics the heartbeat of what our community is all about. ”

Nanci Griffith says that she got an early start on her path to performing and songwriting. At the age of 6, she began to write songs, thinking of it as “part of the process of learning how to play guitar.”  Then at age 14, a campfire turn at a local folk festival caught the ear of a singer/songwriter, and she was on her way.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. for the April 8 event, and performance organizers encourage audience members to bring low back chairs for comfortable seating. No coolers or blankets will be allowed, but a cash bar will be available.

Advance general admission ticket prices are $15 for adults (ages 12 and older) and $5 for children (ages 3-12). Tickets may be purchased online at www.alysbeachevents.ticketleap.com/nanci through midnight on April 7. Remaining tickets will be available at the gate beginning at 5 p.m. on April 8. The onsite costs will be $20 for adults (ages 12 and older) and $8 for children (ages 3-12).
