ERIC LEE BEDDINGFIELD ANNOUNCES BENEFIT CONCERT FOR RECENT SOUTHEAST FLOOD VICTIMS
Concert featuring Eric Lee Beddingfield and Special Guests
Proceeds from “Rock for Recovery” will be donated to the American Red Cross.
NASHVILLE, TN (October 1, 2009) -- Nashville Recording Artist and Martinez, Georgia, native Eric Lee Beddingfield and the Red Cross announced today that he, with the help of Corner Pub Midtown, is organizing a benefit concert to assist victims of the recent unprecedented floods in Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama.
WHAT: Rock for Recovery Benefit Concert
WHEN: Friday, October 16, 2009 7:00pm
WHERE: Corner Pub in Midtown Parking Lot
2000 Broadway
Nashville, TN 37203
MEDIA IS INVITED TO ATTEND
The concert is set to coincide with the University of Georgia/Vanderbilt football game in Nashville the next day. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to assist in their recovery efforts.
“The devastation hit so close to home for my family and fans that I couldn’t sit by and do nothing.” Beddingfield noted. “There are so many ties in the music community between Nashville and Georgia that its only fitting that we use the talent we have here to help out those affected by the flooding not only back home in Georgia, but right here in Tennessee too.” Beddingfield’s family and several of his band members still live in all three states.
General admission is $15 or, for a donation of $75, fans can purchase a VIP ticket that includes food, drinks and an artist meet-n-greet. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cornerpubtn.com or at the event on the day of the show.
Beddingfield has called in the help of several well-known artist friends and announcements of the special guests will be made in the upcoming days. Plans are being finalized, but interest in benefit and the lineup for the show is steadily building. For more information on how to be a part of the benefit, contact D’Anne Mica at dmica@grasshoppermedia.com
The water has receded and the rain has stopped but many lives have been changed for good- now is when those devastated by the floods can use our help the most.
Some Facts about the Floods:
• The U.S. Geological Survey called it a 500-year flood.
• Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin estimates the final damage cost will be beyond $1 billion.
• To date, the Red Cross has sheltered nearly 500 people - There are still nearly 200 people in Red Cross shelters.
• Preliminary damage assessment reports indicate that nearly 3,000 homes have been affected by flooding in 20 counties (2,826 homes including 757 homes destroyed and 760 with major damage).
• Media reports indicate that 10 people have died as a result of the floods, including a toddler ripped from his father’s arms as their mobile home was swept into a creek.
• Disasters change lives. You can help people affected by the current floods by donating to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
