This Saturday night, December 1st, if you don't have plans, please come help us help a friend.
We're participating in a benefit concert at the Midway Bar & Grill in order to raise a few bucks to help our friend, Austyn Crow, in his fight against Stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Austyn is a phenomenal guitarist and a sweet, sweet person. We've been lucky enough over the past few years to share a stage or two with Austyn, and he has never ceased to amaze us with his six-string skills.
If you've heard the music of his band, The Stone Electric, you've heard his guitar playing. If you haven't heard it, check out the linked video.

The event will begin at 9:00PM and will end at 1:00AM. Between those times, the stage will be occupied by the following acts: Ignoramus Extremus, Hayden Limes, The Groove Junkies, Good Wood, and Matt Poss Band.
We will take the stage last, probably around 11:30PM or midnight.
There will be a $5 cover charge at the door, 50/50 drawings, and any other fund raising opportunities that can be thrown together at the last minute (ideas and suggestions are welcome!). All proceeds will go directly to help Austyn offset the expenses of his treatment.
Austyn has amazed us numerous times with his musicianship, and we also expect to be amazed at his ability to overcome this temporary setback. We expect to see him on the road again soon, spreading the groove as only The Stone Electric can.
Come join us in the good fight, and in our celebration of live music. Pay it forward.
