Today, Aaron chats with local musician Lance White, who’s organizing a benefit concert this weekend at Cats Cradle to support victims of the recent earthquake in Turkiye and Syria.
It’s not the first benefit concert he’s organized: among others, he also recently put together a show to raise funds for people caught in the war in Ukraine. Saturday’s show will feature a powerhouse lineup of local musicians and bands – including Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey (of the dB’s), John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff, the Veldt, the Johnny Folsom 4, and White’s own band, Too Much Fun.

Saturday’s show begins at 8:00 p.m. at Cats Cradle. It’s a free show, but donations (suggested $20) are strongly encouraged.
