DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — The City of Dothan is inviting the community to celebrate and honor local first responders during the First Responders Appreciation Concert on Friday, Sept. 11, at Porter Park Amphitheater.
The free concert will feature nationally recognized country artist Frank Ray, along with special performances by local favorites Dustin Herring and Noah Swanson. Music begins at 5:30 p.m., and a variety of local food trucks will be on site throughout the evening.
According to the city, Frank Ray is known for blending modern country with Latin influences. Before pursuing music full time, Ray served as a police officer in New Mexico, making him a fitting headliner for an event honoring first responders. His hit “Country’d Look Good on You” has earned national recognition and appearances on some of country music’s biggest stages, including the Barefoot Country Music Fest.
Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and enjoy the concert from the lawn. Admission is free, and all members of the community are invited to attend.
The First Responders Appreciation Concert is sponsored by Hots Deli, Mike Schmitz Automotive Group, and Spedale MD PC Internal Medicine. For more information about events at Porter Park Amphitheater, visit the Dothan Performing Arts website or follow Porter Park on Facebook.
