Jason Michael Carroll will appear at the American Legion Post 49 in Warsaw on Aug. 11 to give an intimate acoustic concert benefiting veterans. 

This 21-and-over event will see the country crooner performing hits “Alyssa Lies,” “Livin’ Our Love Song,” and “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead,” among others. 

The concert was organized in response to the post’s struggle to raise funds to buy flags for veteran graves. 

Only 130 tickets will be available with 10 special tickets, available for $250 each, that include a private dinner with Carroll.
