Jam for Youth concert – foster care transition benefit

Filed under: michigan,music,nonprofit,traverse city,youth — Andrew McFarlane @ 9:46 am

Josh DavisThe Michigan Youth Opportunities Initiative (MYOI) will be holding the Jam for Youth benefit concert at the City Opera House on Thursday May 29th, from 7 to 10:30 pm. The MYOI is designed to help youth, 14 to 23 years old, as they navigate the difficult road to independence after leaving foster care. All proceeds from this event will be used to meet the emergency needs of these young victims of abuse and neglect.

The featured performers at this benefit concert are all part of the Earthwork Music Collective. Headlining this event will be Joshua Davis (of Steppin’ In it) and the Fool Rooster Band, hailing from Lansing, who will bring their brand of honky-tonkin’ Michigan roots music to the City Opera House. They will be joined on the evening by the dynamic duo Breathe Owl Breathe, Brandon Foote & Laura Bates and newcomer to the collective, singer-songwriter Chris Dorman. This will be a wonderful evening of music with plenty of room to get down and dance.
