As concert night has gotten closer, Harris has been working with the Fraze and Gill’s team to arrange a photo opportunity with priests and nuns from Catholic parishes around the area. Tentatively, three priests, including retired Holy Trinity pastor, Father Ken Pleiman, and at least five nuns will get to meet the artist and take a photo after the show.
“And what’s funny, I told Vince’s people, you know what, Vince will never be covered with more holiness than he will with this one photo op, that’s for sure,” Harris said.
Harris, who happens to have a couple of country music star friends, helped his daughter, who works for a Catholic school and parish in Florida, organize and execute a handful of concerts that helped the school during trying financial times -- just as Gill’s Dayton-area concert will. Harris said organizing the evening required lots of cooperation from local sponsors, Fraze, Holy Trinity and the entire community.
Gill will perform at the Fraze Pavilion in Kettering on Monday, Aug. 13, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are still available, with prices ranging from $37.50 to $75. Prices increase $5 the day of the show.
