Chris Kokesh to open The Josephoenix Memorial Benefit Concert Feb 18!! - January 18, 2012
Hi Friends and Neighbors,
Tickets for the Josephoenix Memorial Benefit Concert for Grief Watch & The Dougy Center on February 18th are now on sale at Brown Paper Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/219801
Proceeds from the show go directly to support the work of Grief Watch and The Dougy Center. Both organizations are priceless resources for people and families dealing with grief and loss. Most of us already have - and all of us will - lose loved ones. The impact of supportive groups like these cannot be understated.
I'm pleased to announce that Chris Kokesh will be the special guest opener for the evening's concert. Any of you who have heard her song "Lucy" - seen here on YouTube - know that she has the right heart for the job. Many of you have come to know and love this talented songwriter, fiddler, singer and guitarist with me over these past few years. I'm delighted to have her there and will join her as part of the opening set as well.
Lincoln Crockett & Enemies will headline the event - this is music the way I hear and feel it: acoustic, electric, jazz, bluegrass, dynamic, virtuosic, improvised and limitless. Enemies features my most frequent collaborators of the past few years - Jim McKeon on guitar, Peter Schwimmer on banjo & mandolin, Tyler Smith on bass, Andy Love on drums, and introducing Jeff Baxter on keys. (Who knows, Chris might even add some harmony & fiddle, she's been known to do that sort of thing.)
This event is very close to our hearts musically and as a benefit show, but it is also a memorial for the one year anniversary of the birth and death of our son Joseph Phoenix. We have 300 tickets to sell and we want to sell them all. We hope to see you there and if you wouldn’t mind passing this email and word on to others in your community it would be greatly appreciated.
