NANCY JONES & FRIENDS TO CELEBRATE GEORGE JONES’ 95TH BIRTHDAY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2026 AT THE NASHVILLE PALACE

Nancy Jones, widow to the late George Jones, announces “The Possum’s” 95th Birthday Celebration taking place at The Nashville Palace in the “Randy Travis Room” on Sunday, September 13, 2026 at 4pm. Performing artists will be announced in the coming days!

“George Jones remains one of the most beloved country music singers of all time and I could not let this birthday milestone go by and not celebrate,” says Nancy Jones. “George’s actual birthday is the 12th, but that falls on a Saturday and so many of my friends are out touring and making a living, so I decided to make the event the next day so they could come and be part of it. For the people that get tickets, they are gonna love this show! So many of George’s friends are coming to celebrate with us.”

“We’ve had the opportunity to work with Nancy before, helping raise money for two officers and their families following the tragic ambush in Huntsville, Alabama,” said Josh Bleidt, founder of Concerts 4 A Cause. “So when this opportunity came along, it fell right in line with one of our main objectives—supporting music education. We’re honored to work alongside Nancy again, celebrate George’s incredible legacy and help invest in the next generation of songwriters.”

Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. Ticket pricing will start at $50 for general admission (only 400 available), $75 for rail seating, and VIP tables for 4 people start at $1,000. Sponsorship VIP tables are available upon request by emailing: josh@concerts4acause.org.

“The proceeds of this birthday celebration are going to two different organizations that support country music. First, Concerts 4 a Cause, which helped me raise money for two police officers in Huntsville, Alabama, that got ambushed and shot just before our big Emmy-award winning tribute show a few years ago. The second will be The George Jones Scholarship at MTSU, where they have a Life and Music of George Jones class. I want to make sure George’s legacy continues through the next generation and the best way to do that is to help the college that is teaching students about George’s music,” adds Jones.
