Freedom Sings USA is coming back to Marion, Illinois for another unforgettable Veteran Songwriting Retreat!
From September 4–6, four local Veterans will team up with award-winning songwriters to turn their military stories into original songs. These songs will be performed live for the first time at a free concert on Saturday, September 6, 2025. After the Veterans’ songs, the professional songwriters will play a set of their own hits. Plus, there’s a special surprise planned during the concert you won’t want to miss!
Please bring a nonperishable food item to support the VA food pantry.
Bring your lawn chairs, grab your friends and family, and enjoy a night of music, stories, and community. Join us and help show our Veterans how much their voices matter.
