In the wake of the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12, Seattle’s music community has rallied together to book several last-minute benefit shows and dance nights to raise money for a number of organizations including the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Convoy of Hope, and Yéle Haiti.
If you haven’t donated yet (or have, but want to give more), here’s a rundown of some upcoming all-ages shows that’ll be raising money to help Haiti.
This Thursday, January 28, the Moore hosts the Seattle Helping Haiti benefit concert and auction featuring performances by Sweet Water, Vince Mira, MXPX, the Maldives, the Classic Crime, and more. Local businesses are also donating items for a silent auction. The show costs $15, and all proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross—more information can be found at www
.seattlehelpinghaiti.com.
On February 4, Neumos hosts the Haiti Relief Show, an all-ages hiphop show with Common Market, the Physics, Dyno Jamz, and Sol. Advance tickets are only $10 (available now at www.neumos
.com; it’ll cost $12 at the door), and 100 percent of the money raised will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.
On February 7, Alex Kajumulo and the Bushman Sound will play the Triple Door at 7:30 p.m., and all of the $12 ticket price will be donated to the Red Cross.
Keep an eye on The Stranger‘s music calendar through the upcoming weeks—we’ll be sure to post more shows as they’re added.
