Rock Band Will Play Free Concert at Potomac Golf Tournament

New Orleans rock band, Better Than Ezra will be making a stop in Potomac for the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship to help celebrate Military Appreciation Day on Oct. 9 at the Champions Tour's final major of the season.

Tournament officials announced Friday that Better Than Ezra, best known for their chart-topping hits "Good" and "Desperately Wanting," will perform at a ceremony during Military Appreciation Day to salute military families. The show is scheduled to begin around 3 p.m. at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm when play concludes for the day. The concert will take place on a stage next to the fairway of the 18th hole.

Admission for the concert is complimentary, as is admission to the Senior Players Championship, which takes place from Oct. 7 through Oct. 10.

Birdies for the Brave, a PGA TOUR charity, is hosting the concert to benefit the military and raise awareness for their cause. Birdies for the Brave raises millions of dollars for military homefront groups that help members of the military who are seriously injured in combat, according to the charity's website.

Birdies for the Brave began when PGA TOUR player Phil Mickelson and his wife, Amy, wanted to support troops injured during combat. For each birdie or eagle Mickelson made throughout the season, he contributed money to the Homes For Our Troops and Special Operations Warrior Foundation. He gave $100 for a birdie, which is one shot under par, and $500 for an eagle, which is two shots under par.

Birdies for the Brave is hosting a separate golf tournament open to members of TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, wounded military, Senior Player Championship players and the public on Oct. 11 after the Senior Players Championship. Also, anyone can become a donor or sponsor for the event.

The Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship will take place at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm on Oaklyn Drive and will bring in golf legends such as Jay Hass, Tom Watson, Nick Price, Hale Irwin, Jeff Sluman, Craig Stadler and Fred Funk.
