Benefit for Dean Magraw scheduled for August 30, 2009

Go here for the latest information on the Dean Magraw benefits (four have now been scheduled).

Dean Magraw is beloved by countless people, as a musician and as a person. Guitarist Elgin Foster was kind enough to forward this email to me yesterday and I'm including it here for friends and fans of Dean. NOTE: The benefit committee is considering moving the start time to noon, since more people are wanting to play. I'll post details here, on fb, and on twitter as they become available.

Please join us in a benefit for Twin Cities' musician, Dean Magraw!

Doors will open at 1:30 and music will start at 2:00 PM continuing throughout the day until 10:00 PM. [Start times have changed. The music will begin at noon.] Many of the Twin Cities' finest musicians will be present, including members of the Peterson family, Boiled in Lead, Lehto & Wright, Marcus Wise and more.

There is a suggested donation of $15 or whatever you can afford. Please, please forward this email onto anyone who might want to know of this event.
