This Saturday (4/23) the legendary Great American Music Hall in San Francisco is hosting a benefit show for the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. They're working with a wonderful organizer in SF (she is Russian) and 10 local artists, with 100% of ticket sales and donations going to the largest children's hospital in Kyiv, Ohmatdyt Childrens Hospital.
We've listed the lineup below, but it's sure to be a night of fantastic jams featuring Dan Lebowitz, Reed Matthis, Sonny Smith, SF's Poet Laureate, and more. You can find more info here:
