Hey there, Lexington! Are you ready for a heartwarming night filled with incredible music and inspiration? Mark your calendars for June 13, 2025, because the Heroes Singer-Songwriter Showcase is coming to the Icehouse Amphitheater, and it’s going to be a night to remember!
Scotty Hastings Takes Center Stage
We’re thrilled to announce that country music veteran Scotty Hastings will be headlining this exciting event. Not only is Hastings a talented singer-songwriter, but he’s also a combat veteran and a proud recipient of the Purple Heart. His journey from serving as an Army infantryman to creating beautiful music is sure to inspire everyone in attendance!
The showcase kicks off at 7 p.m., with Hastings stepping onto the stage at 8:30 p.m. So, be sure to arrive early—gates open at 6 p.m. to give you time to soak in the atmosphere and grab a good spot!
Food and Fun Await
What’s a great concert without some tasty snacks and refreshing drinks? The event will have a variety of food and beverages, including beer and wine available for purchase. Just a heads-up, though—outside food and drinks, as well as freestanding chairs, are prohibited, so plan accordingly!
A Journey of Healing Through Music
What makes Scotty Hastings’ story even more inspiring is how he found solace in music following a career-ending injury in Afghanistan in 2011. He started playing guitar in 2020, and his debut single, “I’m America,” debuted on February 9, 2024. Music has become his way of healing and finding peace amidst the challenges of PTSD—and it’s this heartfelt connection that resonates beautifully with audiences.
Supporting Our Heroes
This showcase isn’t just about the music—it’s about supporting our veterans, too! The event aims to highlight the healing power of creative outlets for those in military and first responder communities. All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to support services offered by the Big Red Barn Retreat at no cost to these heroes. Helping our veterans find their way through their struggles is what this event is all about!
