On Thursday, students from all over the Parkland will head to Dauphin for the Robb Nash concert.

1725 high school students will pack Credit Union Place for the show.

Nash says the story all started when he was 17 years old and in a car accident, found dead on arrival without a pulse in the hospital.

The turning point in Nash’s life was when someone asked him if he believes everything happens for a reason and Nash replied with "that’s what everyone tells me".

The man proceeded to tell him that he knew the reason Nash got in the car accident: “It’s because you and your friends were going too fast on an icy road.”

That set Nash free and he realized we’re not puppets and we can make our own decisions.

Robb Nash started to play music and earned a record deal after his fourth album.

Nash says he was offered a tour to go through youth prisons, detention centers, reserves, and schools to share his message, so he ripped up the record deal to do it.

“It was supposed to be a 9-month tour and now it’s been 10 years since we’ve been on this tour and it’s grown into something massive. Originally it was me going to schools with my guitar and now we’re coming to Dauphin and they’ll be bringing in 25 schools to Credit Union Place.”

Nash has helped students all over the country. Quite often students will give him their suicide notes or send him videos destroying the note because of his impact on them.

He says the whole show is about how we all will see tragedy but what are you going to do when it happens.
