Asher HaVon greets Selma restidents at a meet-and-greet at the Foot Soldiers Education Center and Reflections Coffee Shoppe.

A concert featuring Asher HaVon scheduled for tonight at Selma High School has been postponed.

It was confirmed Friday that the concert had been rescheduled for Friday, August 30, at 8 p.m.

“This show is probably the greatest show I have ever put on,” HaVon said on a Facebook reel. “I really want to make sure everybody who wants the chance to attend has that opportunity.”

Joslyn Reddick, spokesperson for the concert, said the reason for rescheduling the concert was due to it conflicting with the first week of school.

“There were quite a number of people who were asking Asher to move the concert back because this was the first week of school,” Reddick said. “Asher talked with the recording companies, and August 30 was the first available date we could reschedule the concert.”

Reddick said the concert, which is called “Asher HaVon’s Back to School Scholarships and Performance,” will also be giving out 11 scholarships to students from all eight Selma City Schools, but HaVon will also award scholarships to students at the three Dallas County High School.

The selected students will receive their scholarships on Friday, August 30, 2024, during the concert.

“I’m coming back to put money in the hands of the kids,” HaVon said.

Reddick said they have already sold out of the previously announced VIP tickets, but plenty of general admission tickets are still available.

“There is a chance that more VIP tickets will be announced for the next concert,” Reddick said. “All tickets that have been previously purchased will be honored on August 30.”

Those who would like to attend the concert can purchase tickets on EventBrite by searching for Asher’s name.
