Legendary rock band “War” will headline this summer’s Concert Under the Stars taking place Tuesday, July 9 outdoors behind Café at Adele’s. The annual event benefits Carson City’s Greenhouse Project. The gates open at 5 p.m. and the music begins at 6:30 p.m.
In a career that has spanned more than four decades War has sold more than 50 million albums. The band’s unique mix of Funk, Jazz, R&B and Rock and Roll has produced numerous top ten singles including “Low Rider”, “Cisco Kid”, “Why Can’t We be Friends” and many more.
Greenhouse Project President and Founder Karen Abowd says she is thrilled to have War as the headliner this year.
“This is the biggest act we have been able to book for the concert,” she said. “It’s because so many people from around the area support the Greenhouse Project that we are able to bring a band of this magnitude to Carson City.”
Proceeds from the Concert benefit Carson City’s Greenhouse Project. The community-based greenhouse is on the Carson High School Campus. With a focus on environmental stewardship, it provides educational and vocational opportunities for students, youth groups, and special needs individuals. It also provides year-round organic produce to agencies serving low income Carson City residents and the flowers used in the Downtown Carson City Flower Basket Program.
Last year’s concert raised more than $35,000 for the project. Abowd hopes to increase that number this year.
“We think this year will be even better than last, we’ve got a great band, and people know they are going to have a fabulous time.”
