AUGUSTA — The University of Maine at Augusta’s Concerts at Jewett series will present Don Campbell: A Veterans Appreciation Concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, in Jewett Hall Auditorium.
The series is sponsored by UMA College of Arts and Sciences and UMA Senior College.
Singer-songwriter Campbell, a Maine native, is inspired by sources as diverse as the Celtic and Canadian Maritimes music of his family to Dan Fogelberg, Vince Gill, The Beatles and novelist Stephen King. This concert will include some of his original songs and is billed as “a family-friendly and non-political concert to celebrate our heroes.”
“Since 1994 I’ve decided to try to bring more of an awareness to our veterans and the sacrifices of their families…I believe that people who live in the sunlight of freedom should gratefully remember who and how it was earned for them,” Campbell said.
The auditorium has limited space available for wheelchair placement. Individuals who require such a space should call 207-621-3551 to reserve a space. Spaces will be assigned in the order in which reservations are received.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, and free for ages 12 and younger. Veterans are admitted free. Tickets are available at Pat’s Pizza in Augusta, Dave’s Appliance in Winthrop, and at the door.
