We've all seen the devastating impacts of the fires in Southern California. I have friends and colleagues who have literally lost everything, and I cannot even comprehend the soul crushing heartbreak. Keeping this music-focused, for this show I'll be taking my entire portion of tips and ticket sales, matching it with my own personal funds, and making a donation to MusiCares, a well-respected charitable organization that helps out musicians in need. They have already been working to help professional musicians replace instruments and music gear lost in the fire so that they can get back up on stage and continue to make a living. I'll include a complete report, including anonymized screen shots of all the contributions, plus the donation receipt in a post show newsletter. If you would prefer to make your own tax-deductible contribution to MusiCares or any other charitable organization, you're still more than welcome to come to the show and hold onto your tips for your own personal donation -- I would be beyond thrilled just to have your presence at the show for your moral support!
