All musicians have donated their time in the past and we’d like to continue that tradition. We also encourage musicians to play golf if they so desire, eat barbecue, get a few cold beverages, and sell their CDs.  The music lasts from 11 a.m. till 9 p.m. We have a stage set up with a backline and a drum set.

This is a very unique and fun event, and we welcome anyone interested in participating.  We ask musicians to play for 30-45 minutes; it’s kind of a “JAM” session.  Thanks to all for your interest in finding out more about this good cause.

All of us have had someone close to us affected by a terrible disease or injury and we believe these diseases can be eradicated in our lifetime if we all work together. This is a grassroots effort and a labor of love for us all.

We’d love for everyone to get involved.  You’ll be happy you did!

If you have any questions, please feel free to call David L. Bales at 512.797.2703.

Thanks again for your interest!
