A buddy of mine is putting on a great concert for a great cause
Join us at The Rack N Roll Cafe in Stamford for a six-band concert on Saturday February 27th and help raise funds for the Haitian Relief Efforts!
100% of proceeds go towards the cause. Tickets are $5 at the door.
Half of the funds raised will go towards purchasing ShelterBoxes, $650 110 pound containers full of enough gear to shelter and hydrate 10 disaster victims for six months, and will be tracked to its delivery point. For Haiti, each box contains a 10-person sleeping tent, water purification tablets; insulated sleeping bags, collapsible 2.1-gallon water carriers; collapsible trenching shovel, rope, hatchet, jack-knife, screwdriver, hammer, hoe-head; multi-fuel stove; ponchos, mosquito-resistant nets, eating utensils, cups, plates, even a children’s activity book!
Rock For Haiti Bands:
Swivel Chair
20 Years To Midnight
Urban Fetch
Ten Feet Deep
Nightmare River Band
Under The Rasta Influence
Thanks to Greenwich Music for sponsoring the event!

The NEXT Charity Concert Series had a good run at The Rack in Stamford but has been forced to look for a new home. If you know of a good place to host this event let me know (Hint Hint).
We had 7 Brilliant shows and raised almost $4,000 dollars for Big Brothers Big Sisters. I think a good time was had by all that came out to any (or all) of the shows. Plus we helped out a lot during these trying times. Hopefully we can continue this thing again soon.
Thanks and Big hugs and sloppy Kisses to all the bands that helped out.
Please continue to support all of these lovely people.
