The Portland Strong Benefit Concert will take place on Sunday, August 9, 2015 at the Portland High School Football Field. 100% of proceeds will go to the Portland Disaster Relief Fund to help rebuild the city after an EF-1 tornado ripped through Portland on June 22, 2015 causing an estimated $3.2 million dollars in damage.

The event is teaming up with the Portland Community Fund Association and many local sponsors to bring an afternoon filled with live music, food and fun. Shelby Ann-Marie appeared on American Idol Season 13 where she made it to the end of Hollywood Week and has opened for national country artists Craig Morgan, Chase Rice, The Band Perry and will open for Trace Adkins later this summer.
