A WORTHY AND GREAT LOCAL MUSIC EXPERIENCE:
24 AREA BANDS RALLY TOGETHER FOR
3 CHARITIES
On Mar. 10, 24 area bands will rock 3 venues to raise money for 3
charities. That’s right, 3 bars, 3 charities and 24 bands- an all day music
extravaganza called the Charity Jamborie.
Taking place at the Essen Haus, Come Back In, and Up North Bar, a $10
donation/cover allows the music-goer to float among the bars from Noon till bar
close and soak up Madison’s local music scene while feeling groovy about their
donation.
All the bands participating in the event are donating their time and
talents for the UW Carbone Cancer Center, the American Diabetes Association and
the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
These charities lie close to the hearts of the organizers and
musicians. Teresa Marie, Up North Music
Manager and lead singer of the People Brothers Band, organized the event with
Steve and Jane Schmeiding and band mate Timothy Lochner with the help of many
others. Steve and Jane Schmeiding began
Music Can Beat MS. Teresa Marie’s parents
battle with diabetes, and this past year a person close to the many of the musicians
was diagnosed with cancer.
“We also have musician friends and family who have fought with cancer. Some of whom will be playing in the benefit,
some of whom we’ve lost,” said Teresa Marie.
In addition to presenting a wide collection of musical genres, raffles
at each venue showcase a variety of items, from gift certificates to hotel
stays.
“We believe that our love of music can beat anything. We hope to raise more money for these
charities than anyone thought possible,” said Teresa Marie.
