Country singer Doug Stone headlines the two-day music festival which takes place Friday and Saturday in Rockmart.
Brent, a Rockmart native, battled a brain tumor from the time he was six years old. He endured chemotherapy and radiation treatment throughout his childhood but enjoyed playing the saxophone in the Rockmart High School band.

A two-day music festival is planned in honor of Brent. The event features a full lineup of musical entertainment.
Friday’s performances begin at 5:30 p.m. and includes Christian recording artist Jimi Bennett, Second Coming, Steadfast as well as popular Gospel group The Talleys.
