Benefit documentary Sunday at 3:30! Please Pass it on!
This Sunday, 3:30 at the Glenwood Arts Theater (on the back side of Metcalf South mall in Overland Park), there'll be a showing of "American Music Off the Record" as a benefit for the Danny Cox Family Fund.
In case you missed the stories, long time musician and activist Danny Cox and his family's house was destroyed in a fire and he and his wife escaped with absolutely nothing.
All proceeds from this Sunday screening will go to the family. It's a worthy cause, plus you'll get to see a great music documentary that will surprise you. I shot some of the interviews, including the one with Noam Chomsky and the incredible rant that Country Joe McDonald did about the ridiculousness of the Cheney/Bush administration. The film documents how musicians are flying under the radar of Corporate America and surviving despite all the corporate control of the industry.
Tickets are 10 bucks apiece, and you can write a check for them if you want--to the Danny Cox Family Fund. Every dollar adds up.
A JPEG of the poster is available. Please feel free to print it out and circulate it, put it up in your business, etc.
