Another note about the Benefit coming up at Bimbo's:

The benefit concert will be web-cast live and available at www.lala.com. The show can be heard during the concert from 8-11:30 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) at www.lala.com. Lala.com is an online music site where fans trade CDs for $1, get music recommendations and listen to radio stations programmed by other fans and professional DJs. Lala.com created the Z-foundation, a nonprofit organization funding programs that encourage the creation and performance of music. Lala.com contributes 20 percent of its CD trading revenue to the Z-foundation and performing artists.

The January 18 benefit will also mark the release of the new CD entitled “Hi Fidelity Education” – a compilation disc of 18 rock songs from some of California’s best known singers, songwriters, musicians and bands. Proceeds from the CD benefit the California Music Project, which seeks to raise funds and awareness to aid music education in California’s schools.

Said Chuck Leavell: “It is widely known and accepted that children who take music courses in our schools do better in other subjects such as math, reading, history and geography. Music not only helps them in those subjects but also increases their social skills and gives them a more well-rounded level of education.”
