MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Brad Paisley will perform a free concert at West Virginia University next month.
WVU says in a news release that the country music star will perform Sept. 9 in a parking lot outside the WVU School of Law. West Virginia's football team plays Youngstown State the following day in Morgantown.
The performance is part of Paisley's Country Nation College Tour that also includes scheduled stops in Orlando, Florida, on Sept. 4 and Columbus, Ohio, on Sept. 15.
Paisley is a native of Glen Dale in the Northern Panhandle. Earlier this month he made an initial donation of $250,000 for a home-building project for West Virginia residents whose residences were destroyed in late June flooding.
In addition, his crowdfunding website campaign for flood relief has nearly $700,000 in donations toward a goal of $1 million.
