St. John’s Academy announced that ACM Award‑winning country duo Tigirlily Gold will headline a benefit concert at the Jamestown Civic Center on April 18 to support academy students. Tickets go on sale through Eventbrite, marking a high‑profile fundraising effort that pairs a nationally touring act with a local nonprofit school.
Tigirlily Gold, sisters who grew up in North Dakota and now perform out of Nashville, have become a notable act in contemporary country music with singles such as “Shoot Tequila,” “I Tried a Ring On,” and “Forever From Here.” Their appearance in Jamestown is atypical for regional venues and reflects both the duo’s continuing ties to the state and St. John’s Academy’s effort to tap broader audiences for philanthropic support.
The concert serves a dual purpose for the community: direct fundraising for student programs at St. John’s Academy and a likely short‑term boost to the local economy. Events that draw attendees from outside town typically generate incremental spending for area restaurants, hotels and retail outlets, and local venues benefit from rental and concession revenue. Using an online ticketing platform like Eventbrite can broaden outreach beyond Jamestown, increasing the likelihood of attracting visitors from surrounding counties and enhancing ticket sales efficiency.
For St. John’s Academy, the fundraiser is part of a broader strategy to secure resources beyond traditional school funding. Many private and parochial schools increasingly rely on community events, benefit concerts and donor campaigns to sustain scholarships, extracurricular programs and facility needs amid changing education budgets. Hosting a recognized touring act also raises the academy’s profile within the region, which can have longer‑term benefits for enrollment and community partnerships.
The Jamestown Civic Center’s calendar inclusion of Tigirlily Gold may also carry implications for the local live‑events market. Bringing nationally known performers to mid‑sized venues helps signal that Jamestown can support higher‑profile bookings, potentially encouraging future events that contribute ongoing economic activity. Organizers and local businesses will be watching ticket uptake on Eventbrite as an early indicator of demand and of the potential draw of similar shows.
Details on ticket pricing, how proceeds will be allocated among school programs, and logistics for the evening are available from St. John’s Academy and the Eventbrite listing. Residents who attend can expect an opportunity to support local students while experiencing a nationally acclaimed country act with strong North Dakota roots.
