Crying Eagle Brewing announces Crying Eagle Brewing Back in Flight Relief Concert to be October 3, 2020.

Crying Eagle has become a premier music venue in the Lake Charles area, providing weekly live music in their taproom year-round, and large productions in their beer garden during the spring and summer months. Between the pandemic and Hurricane Laura, concerts have come to a halt.

“The people of SWLA need a break. We need something uplifting, and we feel that music is just the thing.” Krickett Racca Marketing Manager at Crying Eagle Brewing Co says.

Crying Eagle will be hosting an all-day relief concert on October 3, 2020, to help raise funds for five local charities; Cajun Navy, United Way of SWLA, Room at the Inn, Second Harvest, and Lake Charles Pitbull Rescue. In addition to raising money for charity, Crying Eagle is also opening their doors to bartenders and restaurateurs that have been out of work due to hurricane damages. These bartenders and restaurateurs have been invited to set up satellite bars and serve food during the event.

“Crying Eagle has always been generously supported and now it's our turn to give back, and we hope to do so in a big way by raising 25k for charities very near and dear to us,” said Eric Avery, Crying Eagle Brewing Company President.

Due to the generosity of some amazing sponsors, this event will be free to the public. We do encourage patrons to leave a donation if they can. Crying Eagle will also have a virtual silent auction and a GoFundMe account to raise funds before and during the event. Click here to view and participate.

T-Shirts are also available for purchase online via the Crying Eagle Facebook page.

All COVID-19 phase three guidelines will be strictly adhered to during this event. Musical performances will be set up on 2 separate stages to encourage social distancing. The event is limited to 250 patrons, and all patrons must wear a mask when not sitting down to eat or drink.

The Back in Flight Relief Concert line up includes Julian Primeaux, Cats and Aliens, Zydecane, Rusty James, Locklear and Primeaux, River Katz, Infinite Bus, Brad Brinkley Trio, Sailor Mouth, Locan Soileau and The Cards, The Good Samaritans, Rusty Metoyer and the Zydeco Crush, and Flamethrowers.
