"This event is about supporting all the outstanding work being done by a number of local community groups and organisations who make a difference in the lives of people at risk and their families," he said.
"Suicide is a critical issue that affects so many people.
"The Vine is asking the community to join us in lending a hand of support while enjoying a night of great music."
Stevie Tonks has become a household name since journeying to fourth place in X Factor NZ's 2015 season.
It was his spine-chilling rendition of Gnarls Barkley's hit Crazy on the show that was especially memorable.
"Stevie is a true showman with a rare charisma that sees him embody every song he performs, infusing the stage with full-forced soul.
"Music is storytelling," enthuses Tonks.
"You want to be moved by music; a song is an intoxicating mixture of emotion and magic. I want to bring back the soul to the stage, to remind people that music can move them to another place. I think that's a realisation that's easily lost in the world of pop music."
Since leaving the show, Tonks has relocated to Auckland to work on his debut effort, writing with the likes of X Factor alumni Benny Tipene and testing out new material in a string of captivating acoustic shows playing around the country.
The Stevie Tonks concert takes place on Saturday, March 5 at 7pm Chapel Hill Community Church, 2 Cate Rd in Rototuna.
Purchase tickets at www.iticket.co.nz. Seats are limited to 300.
