Country artist John Michael Montgomery to headline Free Concert in Uptown Shelby
After an extensive study of spending and attendance related to the ALWS Festival, it became evident that the concert was the primary draw for people to visit Uptown Shelby. Armed with these facts and a passion, The American Legion World Series is returning to its roots, focusing on the concert and bringing an amazing lineup of local, regional, and national entertainment for the night. The spotlight will also be on the Uptown businesses, allowing them to shine and maximize on the additional guests that the concert brings.
The free concert will take place on Saturday, August 9, with music starting at 5:30 pm. The main stage will be located where it has been during previous events, at the corner of Warren and Lafayette Streets. ALWS will line the streets with picnic tables and create an atmosphere to inspire attendees to make it a night out! Come early and grab a bite to eat at one of your favorite spots or get an order to go and eat in the streets while enjoying the concert. ALWS will be partnering with the uptown restaurants to bring you specials and options available for the evening.
With the success of the VIP seats giveaway in 2024, we are cranking up the fun and adding even more for this year’s event! Be sure to watch Facebook and Instagram for contests and your chance to sit down front in the action!
The night of entertainment be-
gins with local artist Bailey Marie and her band at 5:30 pm. Bailey is a singer/songwriter and national recording artist. She has performed across the country at legendary venues such as the Apollo Theater in New York City and the Roxy in Hollywood. More recently, she performed at the Lovin’ Life Music Fest in Charlotte as well as the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach.
Following Bailey, rising country star and Army veteran Scotty Hasting takes the stage to perform his heartfelt, story-driven songs around 6:45 p.m. Despite only picking up the guitar in 2020, Hastings has toured across the country, opening for artists including Lee Brice, Dave Grohl, Kris Janson, Craig Morgan, Jelly Roll, Tanya Tucker, Parmalee, and more.
Hasting narrowly escaped death after being shot ten times in Afghanistan. He is very vocal about his battle with PTSD and how songwriting and playing music bring him peace. Now on a mission to help anyone struggling with loss
or their mental health find solace through music, Hasting strives to connect with his audience by producing music that doesn’t need an explanation.
The night keeps on rocking as headliner John Michael Montgomery performs at 8:30 pm. Best known for his uncanny ability to relate to fans and his rich baritone, John Michael’s songs are part of some of the most memorable moments in people’s lives.
His love songs like, “I Swear,” “I Love the Way You Love Me,” and “I Can Love You Like That” still resonate across the landscape in wedding ceremonies as well as covered by pop artists alike. John Michael not only sings love songs but also hits like “Be My Baby Tonight” and “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident),” which show his whimsical side and allow the audience to try to follow along
with the upbeat and fast lyrics.
John Michael has a long history of music in his family. In his early years, he performed in a band called Early Tymz with his brother Eddie Montgomery and their friend Troy Gentry. After branching out solo in the 90s, his hits earned him the CMA Horizon award as well as the ACM’s Top New Vocalist award. This set off a long series of awards that included the CMA’s Single and Song of the Year, Billboard’s Top Country Art-
ist, and a Grammy nomination. When asked what he thinks gave him the edge in a career that calls millions but gives stardom to just a few, he thinks back to the legacy of his parents. “I reckon it was good genes and good blood!” Stay tuned to the ALWS website, www.alws.us, and social media channels for more information, including details about the participating restaurants and how you can win VIP seats to the concert!

JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY
SCOTTY HASTING
BAILEY MARIE
By Gary Miller
The motto for many turkey hunters this year is, “So close, and yet so far away.” It really is amazing sometimes how close we can be to a good gobbler and yet be unable to take a shot. More than one person has bemoaned this truth to me. I empathize with them.
Just today, I got as close to a roosted tom as I possibly could without being seen. He flew down and paced the side of the hill just over the crest from where I was set up. He probably got as close as 40 yards, but I could never see him. He was literally, “so close, and yet so far away.” For some of you non-turkey hunters, one of the best setups for ambushing a gobbler is to set up just below the crown of a hill across from the turkey. This hides you from his all-seeing eyes until he comes to the top of the hill. By then, he has sealed his fate, because he’s well within shooting range. The heartache comes when he stays just on the other side, out of sight, waiting for you (the hen) to come to him. If you’ve turkey hunted long enough, you’ve lived this scenario and second guessed yourself each time the plan didn’t work.
The Rutherford County Carolina Bass Club fished Lake Hickory Saturday, May 3, 2025. The club had 22 Anglers to fish this tournament. The water was 72 degrees and clear. They reported the fishing was good and everyone caught fish.
But I thought the best plans were supposed to always work. I mean, if it doesn’t work, could it really be the best plan? The truth is, the best plan doesn’t always work out. In the case of my turkey, I knew the plan, but he didn’t. And it’s the same when other plans fail as well. They fail because not everyone knows the plans, or because someone had different plans.
Over the years, I have dreamed of some grand plans. I have pictured the perfect scenario for some of the situations I have been in. And in all those years of making plans, I can’t really ever remember my plans working out just as I had predicted. The outcome may have been just as good, but the path to that outcome was very different from what I thought would happen. The problem is that even though my plans have never worked in exactly the way that I thought they would, I still panic when I see them go awry. For an atheistic world, this may seem like a reasonable reaction, but for those of us who believe in the guiding hand of real God, this is not an option. For it was Jesus who said, “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.” God already sees the other side of our hill.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Titus 3:3-6
