A benefit concert aimed at supporting three Franklin County nonprofits is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2, 2026, at Harvester Performance Center, 450 Franklin St., in Rocky Mount.
Visit Virginia’s Blue Ridge lists Sounds of Compassion with the SML Boomer Band. Doors open at 2 p.m., and the event page lists regular reserved tickets at $35 and premium reserved tickets at $50; VIP tables were marked sold out when the listing was checked.
Proceeds are described as benefiting Helping Hands of Franklin County, the Warming Shelter of Franklin County and the Stepping Stone Mission soup kitchen. That makes the show a community event as well as a music program, with direct ties to local shelter, food and assistance work.
Readers should confirm ticket availability and final event details with Harvester before leaving. The venue lists 540-484-8277 for event questions.
