Murphy Music and Brews event to raise funds for injured veterans

MURPHY, N.C. (WDEF) — Murphy Music and Brews is coming to Murphy, North Carolina next month.

Taking place on Saturday, April 13, Murphy Music and Brews is a charity event with all proceeds going to Shepherd’s Men.

Shepherd’s Men is dedicated to helping U.S. veterans who were injured in war. It will do so through their SHARE Military Initiative, a rehabilitation program for veterans suffering with traumatic brain injuries and mental health issues. The SHARE program is located at Shepherd Men’s Atlanta location.  

According to Shepherd’s Men, “its members are active, medically retired and honorably discharged servicemen and civilian patriots committed to helping those veterans who have sacrificed so much for this country and for everyone who enjoys the freedoms they volunteered to protect.”

Murphy Music and Brews will donate all ticket sales to Shepherd’s Men. In addition, a portion of all vendor sales will go to their cause as well.

The event will take place on Tennessee Street in downtown Murphy.

It will feature live music, craft beer and wine, and unique food trucks, according to the organizers.

There will be live performances from War Hippies, Kevn Kinney, Cracker, and Chuck Mead.

Those interested can purchase tickets here.

“Whether you’ve given in the past or, if you’re new to our work, it is our hope you will join with us to raise the valuable resources required to sustain the SHARE Military Initiative at the Shepherd Center while advocating for our nation’s heroes,” said Travis Ellis, co-founder of Shepherd’s Men. “We will not rest until veteran suicide is stricken from the community. Our veterans and their families deserve to live fulfilling, meaningful lives after their noble and courageous service to this nation.”
