Dispatch Bandmates To Play Benefit In Boston (12/10)

December 3rd, 2010 | No Comments

ACOUSTIC MUSIC FOR GOOD CAUSES

Dispatch

State Radio‘ Chad Stokes’ former Dispatch bandmate Brad Corrigan is among the latest artist additions to Calling All Crows’ 3rd Annual Benefit Show on December 10th to commemorate Human Rights Day at the House of Blues in Boston. Also joining the lineup is singer/songwriter Erin Coughlin, who collaborated with Stokes on State Radio’s 2004 acoustic EP Simmer Kane.

A limited number of tickets to the show remain and are available now via Ticketmaster and without ticketing fees at the Orpheum Theater Box Office.

Corrigan and Coughlin join an all-star lineup of acoustic musicians that kicked off the Chad Stokes & Friends Tour this past Wednesday night at Lincoln Hall in Chicago, making stops in Toronto, Buffalo, Burlington, D.C., and Philadelphia before the finale in Boston. Previously announced artists include siblings Matt Embree of Rx Bandits and Lauren Coleman of Pebaluna as well as Stokes’ independent Ruff Shod Records labelmates Bonnie Paine of Elephant Revival and The White Buffalo.

All shows will feature musicians performing stripped down versions of both original material and covers, performed solo and as collaborations. As in previous years, Stokes is expected to pull from both the State Radio and Dispatch catalogs. He also plans to debut songs off his upcoming solo record, due out in early 2011.

Proceeds will benefit Stokes’ service organization, Calling All Crows, which he co-founded with his partner and tour manager Sybil Gallagher. Calling All Crows works to mobilize musicians and their fans to empower women around the world.

In nearly every city on the tour, musicians will join fans in pre-show service projects organized by Calling All Crows aimed at empowering women. From Global Write-a- thons with Amnesty International to preparing a holiday meal for pregnant refugee and low-income women and their mentors, everyone involved with the tour will have the opportunity to lift up and celebrate women along the way.

Ben Bridwell Presents Benefit for Andy Kotowicz Family

DECEMBER 10 AT THE POUR HOUSE IN CHARLESTON, SC

Andy Kotowicz

A recent tragedy befell our Sub Pop brethren, when friend and co-worker Andy Kotowicz was killed in a
car accident. A post on the Sub Pop website shortly after the incident recounts what happened, and is paraphrased
below:

“Last Thursday evening, October 21, driving his young daughter Anna home after picking her up from daycare,
our co-worker Andy Kotowicz was involved in a terrible car accident that, so incredibly sadly, proved fatal. In what
qualifies as nothing short of miraculous and definitively heroic, his daughter was pulled from the remains of the car,
while it was on fire, by a local business owner who witnessed the accident.

Andy was under care at Harborview Medical Center in a coma until Saturday evening when he was taken off life
support in the company of his immediate family. He was an organ donor and a recipient for his kidneys was found
very soon after his passing. This is a small indication of the kind of guy he was.

Anna suffered some bruises and a broken arm, but is now home with her mother and family and is, we are told,
recovering and adapting. There is a lesson here about the resilience and redemptive powers of children that we can
all hope to learn from.”

Many associates of the Sub Pop and Seattle music community have pitched in to help Andy’s family in different
ways.

Ben will be performing a show at the Pour House in Charleston, SC on December 10 with the proceeds going to the
foundation set up for the family. Bridwell and Friends will feature Ben with members of Band of Horses performing
songs old and new, and special guest Holopaw will open the show.

Tickets are $25 and are on sale now. Get them here

Fans look forward to the event year round and it’s an added fundraising bonus for our charity of choice. This gives the events roots within the community that each year I believe get stronger.”

Fellow band member Craig Sorrels agrees, “The Christmas Jam is quickly becoming one of the biggest events of the year in Greenville for music. And is great for the music scene here in general. You will be pressed hard to find another event all year that brings in so many world class musicians into one building for one performance all together and do it all for a good cause.
