November 15th: Explosions In the Sky at the Great American Music
Hi Everyone,
We have a good friend in San Francisco named Jeff Jacobs. He plays trumpet in a band we truly love called The Drift. Anyway, about a year ago Jeff found out that he has cancer and he has been fighting his illness ever since. As a result, he's accumulated some daunting medical bills. To help him out, we'll be playing a show in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall on November 15th. All of the proceeds from the show will go directly to Jeff to help him pay some bills and to help cover the costs of some of his treatment. Tickets to the show cost $26, which is a higher price than we would usually charge for a room of Great American's size, but hopefully our reasons for doing this are understandable. Also, The Drift will be joining us and they are an amazing band.
So, please, if you're in the area please come out to support Jeff. He's a great musician, and a great friend. Thanks. Here's the link to get tickets….Tickets
Love,
