Illuminated Productions and Scott Evans Dodge & Nissan present “A West Georgia Christmas,” a free drive-in concert featuring contemporary Christian artist J.J. Weeks on Tuesday, December 22, at 7:00 p.m. at the VFW Fairgrounds in Carrollton. There will also be a candlelight service during the program, but attendees must provide their own candles.
According to his website, J.J. Weeks is labeled a powerhouse voice intent on “making a difference in people’s lives.” He formed the JJ Weeks Band in 2001. The band went on to release seven acclaimed, full-length albums that sparked the Billboard Top 10 radio hits “What Kind of Love” and “Let Them See You,” as well as songs that have been featured on the official soundtracks for both the high-profile films God’s Not Dead (“Save Us,” 2014) and Four Blood Moons (“Is It Ever,” 2015). Continuing his journey as a solo artist and touring coast-to-coast from his home base in Macon, Georgia, Weeks continues to write new songs and will announce more new music slated for release later this year.
“I believe that in a year of such disappointment and strife on many sides, it is time to spread some Christmas cheer. See, the spirit of Christmas should not just be one day a year but every day, and we hope this will bring a little joy to our community,” said Chris Dunson of Illuminated Productions.
Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and socially distanced parking and tailgating options are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Various food trucks will also be at the event. Pre-show entertainment will be provided by Just In Time DJ. While the event is free, donations to Carrollton’s Fraternal Order of Police are welcome and will be accepted at the event.
