Giving Back

There are a plethora of examples of how the rich and famous give back to their communities and most of the time, it's a sanitized-for-you-protection kind of gig that is created to make everyone feel noble, but often produces little or no result in the long or short term.  Local musicians and artists can do the same, but on a much more intimate and real manner.  

Even if it means just showing up to events that are locally-grown and provide assistance to worthy organizations, it makes a difference.  Particularly if you have some merch to donate and to wear proudly.  When even a handful of us come together to do something for our communities, it shows the unity and strength of the local music community.  You can't put a price tag on that value.

There are plenty of opportunities out there, brothers and sisters.  We just need to do our best to make ourselves available!
