This month, pop-turned-country singer Jessica Simpson will perform new songs and old favorites during Nina’s Night Out, a fund-raiser for the Rape Crisis Center of Southern Nevada presented by KTNV Channel 13 anchor Nina Radetich. All of the proceeds from the concert will be used to help with the costs of operating the Rape Crisis Center, which aids hundreds of rape victims each year.

Simpson fans will get a chance to hear snippets from her new album as well as give to a good cause when they purchase tickets to Nina’s Night Out. The singer, known for her breathy pop songs and soaring ballads (as well as her tabloid romances), has decided to branch out into country music—perhaps an inevitable move given her Southern roots and her turn as Daisy Duke in the recent Dukes of Hazzard remake.

The first single from her latest album, Do You Know?, is a relaxed, twangy tune called “Come On Over.” Simpson seems more at ease with the genre switch, and perhaps she’ll do well as a country star.

To see Simpson debut her new musical persona, and to help one of Las Vegas’s most beneficial non-profits, buy your tickets for Nina’s Night Out now. For more information about the concert, visit www.ninasnightout.org.

Jessica Simpson appears at Palms Casino Resort September 18 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $47 and $60.
