Peace Offering - September 11th Memorial Benefit

Hello everyone,

I'm writing to tell you all about a very special show taking place one week from this Saturday. As some of you know, back in 2001 I organized three benefits following September 11th. I am pleased to say that there will be another one to commemorate the 3rd anniversary.

It's almost certain that on that day, the airwaves will be flooded with depressing memorials and hateful condemnations, not to mention too much sentimental Americana. I'd much rather spend it honoring those lost and those who survived through music than by watching planes crash into buildings on every channel. So instead of wallowing in sad memories, we're having a celebration of life, grateful for the fact that we are all still here, capable of sharing goodwill and compassion in this world. Proceeds from the show will benefit the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq and the Twin Towers Orphans Fund. All of the children receiving financial help from this fund lost at least one parent on 9/11; many lost both their mom and their dad.

Eight wonderful local musicians will be guest artists in this show, and they are truly gifted. If you've heard their recordings or seen them perform you already know that, but if you haven't, this is a fantastic opportunity to be introduced to a slew of talent in one fell swoop while at the same time supporting to very worthy causes. Show details are below. It will be a beautiful night of music and a whole lot of fun, so please, mark your calendars and join our Peace Offering on Saturday September 11th.

Warmth&Wellness, Tanisha

P.S. - I made a rough vocal recording recently of a song I wrote in June. It seemed befitting to send a link to it with this email. To hear Goliath, click here.
