PO Box 167 Nederland, TX 77627 (409) 729-5742 http://www.radiofreetexas.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RADIOFREETEXAS.ORG PRESENTS: CONCERT FOR THE COAST The wind and water came and went, we remain. www.concertforthecoast.com In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike there are millions of people that are facing a difficult recovery process. Many are struggling without the basic necessities of food, water and shelter. Radio Free Texas has proven that it is a community that cares. In this spirit, the idea for Concert For The Coast was born. Radio Free Texas has partnered with others in the Texas Music community to bring a multi city, multi venue benefit event that will help bring much needed relief to the coastal communities and those that call it home. Members of the Radio Free Texas community had the opportunity to witness first hand the devastation and destruction in several cities along the coast. As part of the Radio Free Texas Relief Team weekend, a group of approximately 30 volunteers traveled from various locations in and around Texas to help with a grassroots clean up effort. It was during this time that the reality of the need for this benefit event became clear. Concert For The Coast will be held on Oct. 26, 2008, statewide in 10 cities, 10 different venues with over 100 artists coming together for one cause. Each event will offer both acoustic and full band performances. All events have a suggested donation of $10 per person to enter. Each event will also feature raffles as well as auctions of artist merchandise, autographed memorabilia and other items donated by local merchants. There will also be an online auction concurrent with the events. **All proceeds from this event are directed toward Hurricane Ike Relief efforts on the Texas coast.** The confirmed venues and artists are listed below, with more to come: Austin, TX Blind Pig Pub 512-472-0809 317 E. 6th St Austin, TX 78701 2PM-11PM artists to perform: Brandon Rhyder Rich O'Toole Matt Powell Josh Grider Mike Ethan Messick Michael Wren K'Cee Edwards Ben Smith Chris Hawks Jordan Minor Jeremy Miller Austin Mayse Aaron Navarro Beaumont, TX Rockin’ A Cafe 409-842-0010 3520 W Cardinal Dr Beaumont, TX 77705 2PM-11PM artists to perform: Bryce Shaver Buster Ellisor Charlie Hager of the Captain Legendary Band Cody Kouba Hunter McKithan Jamie Talbert Jimmy Kaiser David Lee Kaiser Larry Tillery Lee Pelly Slow Rollin' Lows Spencer Marks College Station, TX The Beer Joint 979-776-2377 12550 State Highway 30 College Station, TX 77845 2PM-11PM artists to perform: John Evans Beau Hinze Ben Morris & Great American Boxcar Chorus Britt Lloyd Chad Boyd Band Gabe Wootton Mary Charlotte Young aka MAJIC GIRL Shelby Sims Tyler Cannon Dallas/Ft.
