We, the Underlings, don't do a whole of of benefits, but we will always play this one when asked. Ian Gray is a friend of ours who puts on this show yearly to fund-raise for Womenspace and he's done this most of the past 10 years or so sine a close friend of his was brutally killed. From his event description, " In honor of Amy Hamlin who was murdered by her estranged husband June 10th 2000. Come and enjoy great live music while supporting a great local cause." I remember vividly how this incident shocked the community back in 2000; I was delivering produce to L & L Marketplace in Eugene and heard about it from one of the employees there who was friends with Amy. Maybe playing a benefit contributes just a little bit to alleviate violence against women and families - I really hope it does, because with humanity in such a stressed-out state, we need all the help we can get. Take a pause for the cause! Come down, celebrate some good music and raise some dough for a worthy charity.
