George Harrison was an inspiration to us and musicians across the world. In 1971, his friend Ravi Shankar asked him to help the children of Bangladesh. George took action by hosting the Concert for Bangladesh in support of UNICEF. We are proud to join the anniversary celebration and honor George’s legacy by supporting the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF. Please watch the video above and join us in supporting this great cause.

New Site
The new site us up.
You ask, “where did the site go? There is nothing there.”

So there you go.

Country Tribute to the Rolling Stones” alongside many of our favorite bands, including Cowboy Junkies, Hem, Over the Rhine, and Greak Lake Swimmers.
