Carly Pearce concert in southern Indiana canceled due to severe weather

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Carly Pearce concert in Jeffersonville that was scheduled for Saturday evening has been canceled due to severe weather.

Pearce posted on Facebook shortly before the show was scheduled to begin saying that performing wasn't going to be possible due to the weather forecast.

She was scheduled to perform as part of the free concert summer series Jammin in Jeff at the River Stage.

The city of Jeffersonville said in a statement that Pearce refused the city's request to take the stage early as a way to avoid the threat of severe weather.

"The city is disappointed in Carly Pearce's decision," the city of Jeffersonville said in a statement.

Mayor Mike Moore said the city paid her $75,000 to perform and he is extremely disappointed in Pearce's decision. Attendance was expected to be around 10,000 people.

According to Moore, the show is not planned to be rescheduled.

A spokesperson for Pearce said it was a collective decision by all parties to cancel the performance, and there was never a request for Pearce to go on early.
