The Milk Carton Kids Join Tour To Assist Refugees
Last week The Milk Carton Kids received a rousing standing ovation for their live performance of their song, “Memphis” at the Americana Music Awards show where they were nominated for Duo/Group of the Year. This week the acclaimed duo is announcing several additional events.

The concerts will benefit the Jesuit Refugee Service’s Global Education Initiative, which helps displaced people heal, learn, and thrive by providing educational opportunities for refugees living in camps and urban settings in 45 countries.
