Rural King Partners with Anne Wilson for Harvest of Hope Concert Series Across Rural America

Rural King, a family-owned retailer dedicated to the rural lifestyle, is partnering with platinum-certified, Grammy-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson for the Harvest of Hope: On the Road tour. This family-friendly concert series celebrates faith, family and community across rural America as part of the Rural King Foundation's annual initiative.

The partnership brings Wilson to three Rural King locations this fall, with performances scheduled for November 5 in Dothan, Alabama, November 22 in Cross Lanes, West Virginia, and December 10 in Waverly, Ohio. Amy Shafer, foundation director for Rural King, emphasized the alignment of values between the retailer and the artist, stating that Wilson's music embodies the same values of faith, family and community that Rural King holds close to its heart.

Wilson expressed her honor in joining forces with Rural King to bring Harvest of Hope to life in local communities. She noted that these events are about more than music, emphasizing their role in bringing people together to celebrate what matters most. Each stop on the tour will feature a one-hour performance and community gathering designed to inspire hope, connection and service among rural families.

The Harvest of Hope: On the Road initiative supports local causes and brings families together through meaningful experiences, with all events being free to the public. This approach reflects Rural King's six-decade legacy of building strong community connections through local partnerships and events that celebrate the values of rural America.

Anne Wilson brings a unique perspective to the partnership, creating music where faith and country intersect. At just 23 years old, she has already surpassed 2 billion streams and emerged as one of the most distinctive new voices in both Christian and country music. Her third studio album, Stars, captures a young artist growing up on record, shaped by the tragic loss of her brother Jacob. Rather than shattering her faith, this experience strengthened it, creating music that wrestles with God while maintaining love for Jesus.

The tour represents a significant investment in rural community building at a time when many rural areas face challenges related to isolation and limited cultural opportunities. By providing free, family-friendly events that combine entertainment with community connection, Rural King and Wilson are addressing both social and spiritual needs in these communities. The initiative demonstrates how corporate-community partnerships can create meaningful impact beyond traditional business operations.

Fans can follow the journey and share their experiences using the hashtags #HarvestOfHope and #RuralKingFamily across social media platforms. The tour's focus on rural communities aligns with Rural King's expansion across sixteen states, including Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
