On Sunday, June 23, Poulsbo-based Rockin' Ruby's Records will host a benefit concert in honor of Nex Benedict, a Two-Spirit Indigenous, Nonbinary Oklahoma teen who was reported to have committed suicide following a February assault by a group of high school classmates.
The set at "Concert 4 Nex" will feature local Queer musicians Russian Blue, Mikus, Jordan Eller, and Mushi Bonez. All ticket proceeds will go to Freedom Oklahoma and Queer the Land.
"We will be raising funds for BIPOC & 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations who are advocating, support and fighting for our rights and livelihoods within communities! We hold this concert in solidarity and mourning for Nex's life," reads the organizer's description.
The show will be held at Rolling Bay Hall on Bainbridge Island from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., and all ages are welcome. Organizers request attendees to mask, and the space is wheelchair accessible.
Tickets are $20 and will be available at the door.
