So Why LHS?


As many of you know,  both Jeff and I are ardent supporters of  Love Hope Strength. Their mission is to save lives, one concert at a time.   Since 2007, LHS volunteers have conducted thousands of bone marrow donor drives (including two at BTO, resulting in TWO matches).  They have added over 58,000 people to the world wide bone marrow donor registry, resulting in over 1000 potentially life saving matches for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant.

I know from personal experience just how effective a bone marrow/stem cell transplant can be as I was blessed to have had the opportunity to assist a friend of mine at MD Anderson as her primary caregiver during the transplant procedure. While there, I focused on and became a part of an amazing and life giving process that gave her a second chance. I connected with the other transplant patients and their families, and I was touched by their sense of community and inspired by their strength and endurance. My friend is coming up on celebrating her four year anniversary since receiving the donation, and she is alive and well and thriving today because of it!
Yet one of the biggest problems with the transplant process is finding donors to match the people who need life saving bone marrow. That is where Love Hope Strength, which was started by several musician superstars, comes in. LHS volunteers create a convenient place for locating eligible people who are willing to sign up on the registry to serve as potential donors. 
For those who sign-up at LHS sponsored events, there is no charge to join the registry even though the cost is approximately $65 per registration (to run the lab work). That is where our benefit concert comes in.  By participating in this event, you will be joining those many musicians who have helped to raise funds and register potential donors, which helps LHS in its quest to SAVE LIVES, ONE CONCERT AT A TIME!!

We are really excited about hosting this benefit in support of LHS and in celebration of our FIVE year anniversary.  Marilyn, from The Mercury Cafe, is donating the space, and several of our past BTO musicians are donating their time and talent:

 
Hal Aqua - Emcee
Brodie Kinder
Rabbi Joe Black
Gabrielle Louise
Megan Burtt
The Folkaltones
Percussionist Scott Doser
Beth Wood (On Tour from Oregon)

“I was immobilized by awe.  Grinels was amazing; when she plays – hearts open.” – ThrivingArtists.net 

“Jenn's voice is killer, rich and full-bodied like a fine Bordeaux, and it slinks around the fabric of her acoustic guitar with heartfelt blues . . . ” - Tony Smith, Indieshuffle.com 

"Goosebumps. The audience hangs on to every note she delivers and seems to connect with her sound, lyrics and style on a level that is rare.  Her stage presence is effortless and personable. I felt as if the entire audience and I were good friends of Jenn's, sitting around listening to her play songs we already knew and loved.  Part of her allure is her genuine personality which shines through instantly.  Part of it is her incredible voice and vocal range....She is incredible."  - Courney Smith, www.examiner.com

Rocky Mountain Jewgrass

Saul Rosenthal, Ben Cohen, Gail deVore, Eric Roberts



High Octane Jewish Bluegrass


The Rocky Mountain Jewgrass band…hit the stage, proffering their signature sound, the “high lonesome kvetch,” to the tune of skilled string-band runs, pristine harmonies and a generous side of humor. You don’t have to be Jewish to get down with that. — Westword

An act like Rocky Mountain Jewgrass, blending bluegrass-style music with a Jewish twist is a unique listening experience. There is really no other band like it. -
Donald Davidoff, Acoustic Alley

A new genre is born – mazal tov! Rocky Mountain Jewgrass had us, Jews and non-Jew alike, singin’, clappin’, dancin’ and laughin’ – a grand ole time. With four sets of strings to match their voices, they wove new connections between us in a way that only the miracle of music can manage. — Reb Jamie Arnold, Congregation Beth Evergreen
