HI!

We’re happy to announce that this month’s FALLBORN benefit concert will be held Feb. 26th at our favorite OC club, The Gypsy Lounge (23600 Rockfield Blvd, Ste 3A - Thanks Mike:). So mark your dang calendar!!

FALLBORN and The Natures will be performing. The Natures, by the way, is the band name for Scott Harrah and (my wife) Natalie Watts’ rootsy band. Go check em out.

Ok, so I’m going to let our good friend and benefit partner Andrea explain how this benefit is gonna work and who we’re benefitting:

If you, or someone you know, is planning a trip to Haiti to help relief efforts, we want to help get you there! It’s such an amazing and selfless thing to travel so far to show active compassion and empathy, so we’d like to help via cash money.

You will have the opportunity to raise funds simply by bringing your friends to our Benefit Show THIS Friday!! But, wait…you will also have the chance to win one of two cash prizes – a minimum at $250 each!! And on top of THAT… you will get to enjoy a FALLBORN concert, along with opening act, The Natures.

Here’s exactly how it works: We are suggesting a $10 minimum donation at the door to enter. If you’re friends say they are there to support YOU, their donation goes directly into YOUR pocket… and THEY get a free CD (we like everyone to win!). But on top of that, you will have the chance to win an additional cash prize – we will raffle off 2 cash prizes of at least $250!! We will be aucitioning off art pieces and a portion of the money made will be added to the cash prizes.

So, let’s do the math: if you get 20 friends to come support you and they all give the minimum of $10… BAM! $200 for you. Then, let’s say you win the raffle with only the minimum amount of $250… that’s a total of $450 to support you getting to Haiti!!

Here’s what we need from you: In the comment section, please provide your name and a short 1-3 sentences telling us why you’re going to Haiti (what you’re doing there, etc). Then, all we need you to do is show up at the concert… and that’s it!!

Can I still come hear FALLBORN and The Natures if I’m not going to Haiti and don’t know anybody who does? Of course you can!! And bring your friends too! We still suggest a minimum $10 donation at the door to help support relief efforts in Haiti (but hey if you’re hard for cash, just pay the $5 door charge). Just give us a little shout in the comment section to let us know you’re planning on coming!

Can’t wait to see all of you there!

Okay it’s me Adam, I’m back. Now please don’t let the “I’m sick of hearing about Haiti” thought getcha. Haiti is gonna be hurting for years after what happened there… so even though it’s slowly disappearing from news lets keep them in our prayers and rock this little benefit, yah? Yeah:-)

Ok, so as usual, Daniel Chesnut will be preparing a video to be played at the show. It will illustrate what’s going on out in Haiti and will feature some of your comments about why you’re traveling out there to help. Heck, if you’d like to be interviewed on camera to say a few words about your connection to the what’s going on in Haiti let us know.

SPREAD THE WORD! And we’ll see on Friday for a great night of fun, music and charitable action. If you came to last months benefit you know it’s gonnabe a great time with good vibes. Check out this recap video of last month’s benefit!

See you there:-)
