BRAD ELMORE
The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Brad Elmore was a man who didn’t know a stranger and could make the toughest person laugh out loud.
He was a loving husband to Jackie, a doting father to Lily, and a best friend to many in his pack.
With a simple witty one liner Brad would have you in stitches and could brighten the darkest of days with his smile.
Even during his hardest battles Brad always tried to see the bright side of life.

Brad was a lover of music, he spent a lot of time going to concerts, especially his favorite band Widespread Panic.
He made so many special memories with family and friends at venues all over the country.
It is only fitting that we honor his memory with a memorial concert.

BRAD-FEST will be exactly as Brad would want….
full of local businesses, local music, local vendors, and good people from all over.
As a downtown business owner Brad loved celebrating the culture of Kinston and including everyone.
Navigating life without him here has been incredibly tough on those of us who were closest to him.
We know the love and dedication that is going into this event will be felt by all who attend.

The BRAD-FEST committee would like to personally thank every
sponsor, volunteer, vendor, and person who has donated.
We couldn’t do it without the overwhelming amount of community support.
We know Brad is smiling down from Heaven – beaming with pride!
