Sandy and her band are doing the now 2nd annual Cody Myers benefit show. Check out the details below. And thanks to Sandy for sharing the info on this one.
The Second Annual Cody Myers Music Outreach Foundation Benefit 10/21 @Trails End SaloonCody Myers loved music. Before his life was tragically taken a little more than a year ago while on his way to the Newport Jazz Festival, the nineteen year old had played in several bands and had informed his family that he had a goal to help bring the gift of music to underprivileged children whose families could not afford to buy lessons or instruments. In his memory, the family created the Cody Myers Music Outreach Foundation to keep his dream alive.
To help raise funds for the Foundation, the Trail’s End Saloon in Oregon City held a special day-long benefit concert that was quite successful. So successful and popular that they will be holding the Second Annual Cody Myers Music Outreach Foundation Benefit on Sunday, October 21st, from noon until midnight. The Trail’s End Saloon is located at 1320 Main Street in Oregon City. Admission to the event is a requested donation of $10 at the door. There will also be a raffle held.
The line-up for the event is quite impressive, with so many musicians willing to give their time for this cause. Help keep Cody’s vision continue. Attend this event and help those children who would otherwise be unable to pursue their dream to learn and make music themselves.
