On May 16, acclaimed singer-songwriter, Francesca Blanchard, will perform for the benefit of The Joe Shook Scholarship Fund which provides scholarships for differently-abled campers to attend Partners In Adventure’s summer day-camp program.

The show will be hosted by comedian and Charlotte resident Maryanne Gatos and will include performances by Williston fiddler Duncan Yandell (also a friend of Joe’s), guitarist Dylan Hudson and R&B artist, Jamell Rogers.
Born and raised in France, Francesca Blanchard traveled the globe with her family before settling in Charlotte. She’s a fast-rising star, opening in April and May in Boston and Miami for Joan Armatrading.
The event will take place at the Williston Central School at 7pm. Free refreshments provided. Adults: $25, children under 12: $10. Tickets are available at www.partnersinadventure.org or at the door.
