When New Orleans was flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, musicians all over the world staged benefits to aid the city and its residents. Now it’s our turn. This benefit, which is daytime event at the Howlin’ Wolf, is raising funds for those affected by the floods in Colorado.
Colorado’s Front Range was hit hard by flooding in September. The effort to rebuild is going strong in Colorado towns like Lyons, and some New Orleans musicians are supporting the cause from afar.
The New Orleans Suspects keyboard player CR Gruver called Denver home before settling in the Crescent City, and he has enlisted some pillars in the New Orleans music scene to throw a concert to benefit the Lyons Community Foundation. Tickets are available here.
If your home is one the houses that have been affected by the floods, you can hire a professional team like flood clean up Utah to clean your home and start again.
