Hey everyone!!! Unfortunately due to economic conditions we are unable to secure enough sponsors and help to bring you a concert this year even though we had one ready it is impossible without the support of sponsors and the community . It costs a ton of money to put on these concerts ($221,000 last year ) and without sponsorships it is impossible. I have been tirelessly working on this to try and bring you an awesome show but unfortunately working full time and even though I spent full time hours on the concert I was unable to get enough sponsors to go forward. I will be returning the sponsor money to all the donors. Also I want to announce that effective June 1 , 2024 GLS Society will cease to exist . It has become bigger than one man can handle without a lot of help and has been taking me away from living my life with my family . I have really enjoyed this and am sad to bring it to an end but my family and my health must come first . Thank you all for all the love and support that you have shown us !!

Hey y’all , been awhile. I just want to give everyone an update on what’s going on. We are working on another concert for this year as well as some smaller ideas for various causes. This years concert has 3 possible dates depending on who we sign . We are in the middle of negotiating now and are hearing back from artists every day . Stephanie at Vox is handling our talent for us . This years concert is going to support PTSD/Mental Health in our first responders and Military . We have an amazing treatment and recovery center right here in the Annapolis Valley called The Returning Warriors Ranch hosted by Cracked Armour and Mark Long . Stay tuned for updates as we work on this new project. We hope to make an announcement for this years show in mid April. Thanks for all your support !!!!

Hey y’all we have changed the page name as we weren’t on a farm last year and don’t anticipate it this year . Just a quick update for our awesome fans . We are working hard to try and bring you a bigger and better show this year . Be mindful that it takes a large amount of money and sponsors to put on these types of events and time . We have reached out and are in discussions with many artists and hope to announce something by mid April , sponsor dependent of course. If you know anyone who would like to sponsor please reach out on here or send us a DM and we will respond ASAP.

Makes me proud of what GLS Society is doing for our community and pushes me to want to do more .

Hey Concert goers , I hope everyone had as much fun as we did last night . The roof was definitely blown off that arena. I want to first of thank a few very important people that without them this could not have been such a huge success. I would like to personally thank my wife Sandy , she was awesome through all this . I would like to thank my right , left and third arm Dan Casey, Curtis Bell and Sherwin you guys ran that show like it was nothing . Nick Sharpe and the Events Acadia team were invaluable along with the Vox team of Stephanie and Danielle. Also want to thank the 50+ volunteers for dedicating so much time to this. It took us a year to plan , gather sponsors, negotiate contracts etc. please if you have any great pictures from the show tag Country Rocks the Farm so we can have them. Last thing is a question , should we do another concert ???????

Well folks , only 3 more sleeps until the show!!!! Tickets are almost gone so get yours and see you Thursday at Acadia Arena !!!!

Ok folks I’ve had a few messages about buying tickets from someone who isn’t coming to the show. The name on the ticket won’t matter as once we scan the ticket it cannot be used again. I’ve also been informed of some scammers trying to sell people tickets . If you have any doubt about the legitimacy of tickets you may be buying just send me a message and I will confirm for you if they are good or bad.

Hey everyone , just an update as there have been many questions . The doors open at 530pm now and Broken circuit will get the show started between 630-645pm. There is no need to bring chairs as the arena bowl has plenty of seating . The floor space is however for standing or dancing only. There are no chairs on the floor. We will have 3 entrances to the arena , first 2 are through the main arena entrance and the other is downstairs . The downstairs entrance is for 19+ only . There is lots of parking in and around the Arena but like anything get there early to get a good spot. If possible we will be taking donations for the food banks at the entrances so please bring any non perishable food items you can spare to help others. Thanks and see you all in a week !!!!
