20 Local Bands Join Together for the 2nd Annual
Thanksgrooving Music Festival in an effort to
Fight Hunger in the Omaha Area
Omaha, NE November 17, 2007 – 20 Local Bands have come together this Thanksgiving season for the 2nd annual Thanksgrooving Music Festival.
In an effort to raise funds for the Omaha Food Bank, these bands will donate their time and talent in the hopes they will make a difference in the lives of some of the less fortunate in our community. With the help of sponsorships and some very generous business owners, these bands will hold an all day concert to be held at 2 venues simultaneously in Benson. The Waiting Room Lounge and the Pizza Shoppe Collective will both have live music from Noon until 1am.
For the second year local band Polydypsia has gathered together some of the most talented musicians in the Omaha area to once again set a new precedent for local fundraising concerts. The bands are Polydypsia, Jah Roots (Springfield, MO), Satchel Grande, Somasphere (Lincoln), The Blue Martian Tribe, Vinyl Haze, 5150’s, Son of 76 (Lincoln), The Bigg Tasty, The Side Effects, Dessa Vibes, ‘Nuff Crisis, Groove Gov’nors, Cornerstone Dub, The End in Red, KLAB, The Whiskey Pistols, Matt Cox, and more. Sponsors include The City Weekly, New Belgium Brewing Company, Homers, One Percent Productions, Pizza Shoppe Collective, and Omaha Night Life.
The concert is all ages with live music being played virtually non-stop all day. In addition to the concerts there will be food catered by the Pizza Shoppe, some fun and games, an after party, a food drive and a general atmosphere of philanthropy. Regular tickets are $12 in advance (or at the door with the donation of any non-perishable food item) or $15 at the door (without donation). Bring 10 cans of food and receive a Thanksgrooving bumper sticker! Everyone is encouraged to bring food for the food drive!
November 17, 2007 – The Weekend before Thanksgiving at The Waiting Room and The Pizza Shoppe Collective in Benson come down and “Give Thanks for The Groove”. Together we can make this a happy, healthy holiday season for Omaha’s less fortunate. For futher information contact Adam Langdon Thanksgrooving Chairman at 402-980-2833.
