Marietta’s Earl Smith Strand Theatre will host Six Strings For A Cure, a benefit concert for the American Cancer Society, on Wednesday, Nov. 28.

The night of music, networking, and community engagement will raise money for studies to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for cancer. Athens-based singer-songwriter Mike Cooley, co-frontman of the Grammy-winning southern rock band Drive-By Truckers, will be playing an intimate acoustic set of Drive-By Truckers songs as well as originals from his solo album The Fool on Every Corner.

General admission doors open at 7 p.m. and the music begins at 8 p.m. with local southern rock band Bellwether Station taking the stage before Cooley. A VIP reception before the show includes reserved seating and complimentary food and beverages at 6 p.m. in The Strand’s 2nd floor Lumiere Lounge.

General admission tickets ($25), VIP tickets ($50), and various levels of sponsorship tickets can be purchased at eventbee.com. Donations of any amount can also be made out to the American Cancer Society online or at the show.
