What is a recalibrated veteran?

SSG Travis Mills coined the term “recalibrated veteran” after he lost portions of all of his limbs in an IED explosion while serving our country in Afghanistan. He was injured and healed; he didn’t want to be called a “wounded warrior” – his wounds had healed. Instead, he referred to himself as recalibrated. He adjusted to his new normal; he recalibrated.

Jimmie Allen

Signed to BBR Music Group’s Stoney Creek Records, multi-platinum recording artist and songwriter Jimmie Allen has been blazing trails since the beginning of his breakout career. Allen was nominated for Best New Artist at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards, his first ever GRAMMY nomination. He was also nominated for Male Artist of the Year nominee at the 57th ACM Awards (which he co-hosted alongside Dolly Parton & Gabby Barrett) and Outstanding New Artist nominee at the 53rd NAACP Image Awards. Allen launched his career with two consecutive No. 1 hits off his 2018 debut album Mercury Lane (which The New York Times dubbed as one of 2018’s strongest) – the first being his RIAA 2x Platinum debut single “Best Shot,” which claimed the No. 1 spot on Country radio for three weeks, and second being Platinum-certified “Make Me Want To.” In July 2020, Allen released his star-studded collaboration project Bettie James that garnered a slew of critical acclaim for the music, the historic nature of various collaborations, and its subsequent place in country music history. Named for his late grandmother, Bettie Snead, and late father, James Allen, Bettie James has been hailed as an “announcement of [Allen’s] arrival” and a “huge step for country” (NPR), and “a powerful statement from a developing voice” (Billboard). Learn more >>>

Kidd G

With a rare gift for turning his hometown experiences into natural melodies, Kidd G has found tremendous success by staying true to his roots. As a kid growing up in small-town Georgia, he first started creating his own songs at the age of 15, and soon arrived at a gritty but melodic sound equally inspired by classic country and hip-hop. On the heels of his chart-climbing breakthrough single “Dirt Road”—an October 2020 release whose video surpassed 5 million YouTube views in little over a month and now has 13M views to date—Kidd G has recently shared his debut EP; the powerfully heartfelt Teenage Dream. Now having surpassed 1.5M monthly Spotify listeners, his tracks have seen radio play from KIXX Country Radio in Australia, and reached new peaks on highly coveted country playlists including Amazon Music’s ‘Country Heat’ (peaked at #2), and Spotify’s ‘Hot Country’ (peaked at #10). Kidd G is now back in the studio and eager to share all new music that will continue to showcase his unique raw talent.

All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Travis Mills Foundation, a non-profit that provides programming to help recalibrated veterans overcome physical and emotional obstacles they face, strengthen family bonds and provide an outlet for much-needed rest and relaxation through the Foundation retreat in Maine.  Tickets went on sale Monday, October 4.

The armed services have a personal connection to Morgan who spent more than 17 years on both active and reserve duty in the U.S. Army.  He has remained devoted to supporting our military men and women, making 16 overseas tours to entertain more than 45,000 U.S. troops all over the world. In 2018, he was awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal – the highest civilian honor the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian.

“It is important to me to continue to help our nation’s veterans in any way that I can,” said Craig Morgan.  “The Travis Mills Foundation’s work is so crucial, and I am honored to be part of this event.”

“We are deeply grateful for Craig’s continued service to his country in lending his voice to help veterans build resilience, recover from their injuries and provide the tools they need to overcome both mental and physical challenges from their time of service,” said SSG Travis Mills, founder of the Travis Mills Foundation. “We also thank the World Equestrian Center and other partners for their generosity in donating the venue to make this concert happen and have a real impact on the lives of our veterans community.”

SSG Travis Mills, one of only a handful of surviving quadruple amputees from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, founded the Travis Mills Foundation in 2014, inspired by his own challenges that he faced after stepping on an IED while on his third tour in Afghanistan in 2012 and all the men and women who provided the tools Mills needed to keep moving forward.

Most recently, the Foundation broke ground on a $7 million expansion of its retreat, a new health and wellness center that will service thousands of veterans around the country and open in summer 2022.  Since 2017, the Foundation has hosted more than 90 weeks of programming, serving 627 veterans, 724 families and 2,087 people from 43 states, along with Washington D.C. and Canada.

Tickets for the benefit range between $35 and $65, with a limited number of VIP tickets at $200. For more information about the concert and the Travis Mills Foundation, visit www.travismillsfoundation.org.
