Lefties rock out for a cause
November 19, 2008 at 3:21 pm by Scott Henry in NewsIf you’d like to help shut down the former School of the Americas at Fort Benning, but can’t spare the time and gas money to join the march in Columbus this weekend, you still have an option. Tomorrow night, Eyedrum will host a benefit concert for SOA Watch, the group founded by Father Roy Bourgeois that sponsors the annual protest march.
Maybe “rock out” is overstating it; perhaps it’ll be more like “strum out,” given the folk-heavy lineup, which includes scene vets Caroline Aiken and Elise Witt, social activist Alice Lovelace, the charmingly named Atlanta Sedition Orchestra and many others.
The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with an exhibition by socially conscious graphics group Beehive Collective. The concert starts at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $25 for early birds and drop the later you walk in, but a sell-out is expected, so don’t say you weren’t warned. Tix are available at Charis Books. Details are here.
