Oso Much Love Benefit Concert Series

We were all shocked by the recent devastation occurring in Washington this last month with the landslide happening in Oso. We see tragedies like this happen on the news quite often, but it really makes for a tremendous feeling of helplessness when it occurs so close to home. A number of benefit concerts have been held around the Seattle area with numerous bands, some even from Portland, lending a hand to raise money for the rescue and recovery efforts happening in that small community.
Portland musician Kenny Kofler felt that we could offer more help in our own community for our friends to the north as well. So he has lined up a series of nights at various venues with the help of a number of his musical friends for what he has called the Oso Much Love Benefit Concerts. This may just be the beginning of several more to come. Please plan on attending one or as many as you can to help raise the money necessary to offer as relief aid for Oso.

Saturday May, 3rd- 9pm @ Montavilla Station– Kenny Kofler with special guests Jim Solberg(bass), Lou Solomon(keys) and Scott Van Dusen(drums)
