Remember the tornado that blew through Joplin, Missouri, and almost destroyed the entire city? Kind of hard to forget. There have been plenty of area benefit shows including local musicians to help raise funds and collect food and clothing for the victims. This week, two more are on the horizon, so if you haven't attended an event yet or want to donate a bit more while listening to local artists belt out some songs, you might consider attending these two upcoming events.
Tonight (Tuesday, July 12):
Czar (1531 Grand) will host an early dinner benefit show (starting at 6 p.m.) with thrashgrass band Famous Seamus & the Travelbongs, plus Robot Monkey Madman, Not a Planet, and Cody Ross. Cover is $5. All proceeds go to Joplin. Attendees also can bring first-aid kits, nonperishables, clothes, blankets, soap, deodorant, bottled water, and other lifesaving items.
