Operation Encore is an all-volunteer organization that currently includes 23 veteran musicians from across the country and features country star Lucas Hoge on its Board of Directors. Friday’s event is a milestone for the nonprofit, as the show will be the first Ohio event for the organization.
The artists performing at “Soldiers, Stories and Songs” include:
• Andrew Wiscombe (Utah), former Army sniper
• Shannon Book (Austin, Texas), former Fleet Marine Force Hospital Corpsman
• Stephen Covell (Austin, Texas), former combat medic
