Several of Seattle’s finest musicians will be performing on Saturday to raise money for Drew Grow (of Portland’s Drew Grow & the Pastors’ Wives) who was severely injured in car accident last month. Thankfully, Drew is on his way to a full recovery, but the accident caused him to incur many expenses and the band’s touring van was totalled.

Although Drew lives in Portland, the amazing and supportive Seattle musical community has claimed him as our own and the our scene’s creme of the crop will be on stage this weekend to help him out. The Maldives will headlight a night featuring Kevin Murphy (The Moondoggies), Mychal Goodweather (Campfire OK), Jake Hemming (Big Sur), Bryan John Appleby, Ghost’s I’ve Met and many more.

There will also be a silent auction for items donated by NW artists of all kinds starting at 7pm. All proceeds of the night will go to Drew.
