Jay Bennett: A Celebration of His Life & Music


Recommended Posts

Moderators - if this is in the wrong thread I apologize and please move it to the appropriate one.

 

November 15, 2009 would have been Jay Bennett's 46th birthday. On that evening, friends and comrades will gather at The Hideout in Chicago to celebrate the life and music of their extraordinarily talented friend.

 

Scheduled to appear:

Edward Burch

The Viper & His Famous Orchestra

Brad Elvis & Chloe Orwell (of The Handcuffs)

members of Dolly Varden

Quartet Parapluie

Steve Frisbie

Dorian Taj

John Peacock

Kenneth Rainey (of Tangleweed)

Brian Krumm & Brian Leach (of The Great Crusades)

Chris DeMay

and more

 

$8 cover. Proceeds to benefit organizations helping with musician healthcare issues.

I'm hoping the "and more" is guys that were in Wilco. I'd also like to see fellows from the Jayhawks and Soul Asylum there as well if at all possible.

Thanks for posting this. For those who can't make it, can you post a list of the organizations that the benefit is...benefitting? Or a way to donate to the benefit?

I can't get there either. Jake is *almost* the age where I can leave him alone at night for a few hours... a year or so from now I should be able to make things like this on nights that my husband is working.

Kinda weird that Wilco's in Europe again during this..... I hope it's a great evening for everyone.

Wilco didn't organize this, Ed Burch, Jay's long time collaborator did.

 

It was a very fun evening for the the couple or so hours I was there. Lots of different folks got up to sing and many interesting stories were told. Hopefully someone will give a complete report. It was certainly under attended in my opinion. But that didn't matter.

I realize that, just find it ironic there seems to still be a transoceanic distance between Jay and the current band. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. But, had some of the current members been able to attend, that might've been even weirder.
