Norwich students get in for free with a valid NU student ID.

Vermont native and Nashville-based country musician Jamie Lee Thurston has recorded nine studio albums and tours regularly. His talent has taken him through the Nashville music industry and label machine at Warner Brothers, where he turned out singles for Montgomery Gentry, Rodney Atkins and Trace Adkins, including Rodney's chart-topping fan favorite, '15 Minutes.' And he's shared stages with country music's biggest acts, such as the Waylon Jennings, Roger Miller, the Dixie Chicks, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Billy Currington and Charlie Daniels.

The concert is organized by The Veterans' Place and the Norwich University student group that conducts the Annual Legacy March to support it. Both the Legacy March fundraiser and The Veterans' Place Inc., are celebrating 10th anniversaries this year, in Norwich's bicentennial year. Thurston, who keeps close ties with Vermont, is passionate about supporting veterans and has been a supporter of the Legacy March and The Veterans' Place Inc.
