I still can’t fully wrap my head around what happened yesterday at the Boston Marathon. My adopted hometown of 13 years is truly my home, and will be for the rest of my life. I love it here. I love this city’s music scene. I love this city’s passion for sports. It works for me.
And people cope with hardship in different ways. I’m involved with the music scene, and one way I can help is through music. So I’m teaming up with Richard Bouchard (Indie Rock Ranger) to help organize the FOR BOSTON benefit show tonight at TT The Bear’s Place, the home of the Rock and Roll Rumble, which picks back up on Thursday.
About two hours ago we got word that a touring show scheduled for TTs tonight had been cancelled, so we rallied up some of our friends for a last-minute fund raiser to benefit Massachusetts General Hospital.
Join us for music from Mean Creek, The Field Effect, Endation, Dan Nicklin of Oldjack, Cameron Keiber of the Beatings/Eldridge Rodriguez, and more. I’ll DJ a few sets as well, the usual stuff you hear at the pill.
Doors at 8pm, it’s 18+, and it’s Pay What You Can. Seriously, pay $1, pay $20, it’s up to you. We’re happy to report that 100% of the door will be donated to MGH on behalf of the Boston music scene. Vanya Records and the Field Effect will also donate 100% of sales from all merchandise to the cause.
