7th Annual Fools Brigade Benefit Friday April 2nd & Saturday April 3rd @ Snug Harbor

For 7 years the Fool's Brigade has staged an annual benefit for a local charity, featuring Charlotte bands and musicians highlighting the artists who influenced them the most.

It returns on Friday & Saturday April 2 & 3 2010, to benefit Project HALO, featuring the music of The Replacements & Big Star @ SNUG HARBOR Charlotte, NC.

The Annual Benefit was founded in 2004 to aid the recently laid off workers at Pillowtex. Subsequent shows have benefited Crisis Assistance Ministry, Hospice of Charlotte, The Charlotte Community Charter School, The Metrolina AIDS Project, Jacob's Ladder Job Center and now Project HALO .

Previous shows featured the songs of Tom Waits, The Kinks, music form world famous NY rock-club CBGBs, David Bowie & The Rolling Stones raising nearly $30,000 for deserving Charlotte-based charities.

This annual event was established with a dual intent; to provide assistance to a worthy cause and to shine a spotlight on the talented group of local music makers who help make Charlotte a thriving and vibrant place to live. Last year’s show, focusing on the music of The Rolling Stones, brought in a record crowd and a record breaking amount of donations.

We look forward to topping it this year!
