ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Residents, family members and community members can enjoy a free country music concert on Tuesday, Aug. 12, as part of the Benedictine Living Community's "Summer Nights Live" concert series.

Country performer Andy Campbell will perform from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, in an outdoor concert at 1202 Heartland Road in St. Joseph.

Benedictine Marketing Director Karen Cannon said even though the series is only in its second year, it's sure to become a mainstay.

"It's an event where you can just come outside and enjoy the evening," Cannon said. "It's nice and cool and in the shade."

The series began in June with the Kim Osborne band performing classic sing-along hits.

In July, Ben and Lauren Johnson performed during a "Memory Lane Night." The series culminates on Aug. 12, "Country Comfort Night" will feature local artist Andy Campbell.

The concert is open to the community, and attendees are invited to bring lawn chairs to enjoy the one-hour concert. Because of its growing popularity, Cannon said that she and Benedictine Activities Director Whitney Zoubek hope to continue the series.

"My favorite part is seeing all our residents smile," Cannon said. "They clap, sing along and even dance."
