DEAD ELVIS - BACKBONE CAMPAIGN BENEFIT
In terms of raising money, the Rolling Stones Benefit last time around was such
an amazing success…it surpassed the Powert to the People Benefit, the Beatles Benefit and the Bob & Bob Benefit by leaps and bounds. Not only that, it was such an enjoyable evening of music for everyone….so why not keep the tradition going?
We thought we’d continue the theme concept again, calling out to our unbelievably talented musicians on this island to participate….and hopefully a few from the mainland. If you missed out on performing in the previous benefit shows, now is your chance to be a part of an unbelievable night of music by a huge variety of musicians, all under one roof. All for a great cause too.
For all three of the previous Backbone Benefit events at the Red Bike, it was standing room only in the back and about as packed as they’ve ever seen this place. We even ended up having to turn some people away because there just plain wasn’t any room left. It was a gathering of the community, like the old days….where you would see your neighbors and old friends and share a wonderful night together. Most definitely worth doing again…..and again….and maybe even again…..
There were some great solo performances last time, as well as some wonderful collaborations that people are still talking about, so we’re hoping for more of the same for this event. It’s difficult to accommodate large bands, not impossible…but only if the transition time takes place quickly.
I would like to invite our musician friends to perform one ELVIS OR DEAD song at the benefit, either as a solo act or with accompaniment. Although it won’t be acoustic per say, it won’t be a big amplified huge extravaganza either. We’ll rotate quite a few people through, maybe 20 or so time slots, each playing one song. Not much time for set-up, sound check or tear down, so we need to try and keep it simple. Pick a song; let me know what it is as soon as possible and I’ll add it to my list so we don’t have any duplicates. This is a great audience to play to! So many people came up to me last time and asked who certain people were because they wanted to remember so that they could catch them when they performed again. If you have CD’s of your own music, it’s a great event to make some sales! For more information, go to http://www.vashonmusic.com. All ages 'til 11pm, 21+ after that. $15 suggested minimum donation.
