This Is Live: A Fundraiser for the Fox Valley Music Foundation

Here's a night of music that I can really relate to!

The Fox Valley Music Foundation exists to present, promote, and preserve music in the Fox Valley region. And as a bandleader who's benefited from their support bringing my group to their stage many times over the past three-and-a-half years, I appreciate all that this organization has accomplished.

This Saturday night at The Venue, the Foundation is throwing a gala both to celebrate their work and to raise money to keep it going.

Scott Tipping will be performing the music of Tom Petty as part of the evening, part of his ongoing Album Covers series.

There'll also be a silent auction and a raffle for all sorts of music related items. And yours truly, William Lindsey Cochran will be taking the duties of emcee for the evening.

Keeping live music live is all about having faith in the potential of the musicians around us. Great Moments in Vinyl has benefited from people like the Foundation having faith in us. And you know I plan to share stories from rock and roll history about some of our favorite artists getting their starts because someone believed in them.

Come join us this Saturday night beginning at 7:00 at The Venue. It'll be great music...for a great cause!
