CHARITY FUNDRAISER A SUCCESS!
When: Saturday the 28th of June 2008 from 1-3 PM
Where: The historic Estate Winery Barrel Room, Wente Vineyards, 5565 Tesla Rd, Livermore, CA
Why: An afternoon of live music, FREE food, wine tasting, and helping an important human rights cause. All proceeds from ticket sales went to complete Tapestries of Hope (TOH), a landmark human rights movie and social entrepreneurship effort involving on-the-ground work with children, particularly girls, in Africa and North America.
Who: The Front Porch (In early 2008, winemaker Karl Wente turned his famed weekly jam sessions into the acclaimed band, "The Front Porch". Band members include Bay Area music heavyweights: concert violinist Jim Hurley, percussionist extraordinaire Kenneth Nash, singer Jonny Williams, singer Megan Bradford, ukelele player Bob Giddens, guitarist Art Najera, cellist Richard Hibbs, guitarist/Ruby Hills Winery winemaker Chris Graves, and recently retired concert pianist Ray Arthur Wang, who is a Producer for TOH.)
Genre: The Front Porch rotates through multiple genres for a truly unique listening experience: Attendees heard original music as well as THE BEATLES, ROLLING STONES, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, VAN MORRISON, CHICK COREA, BEETHOVEN, GERSHWIN, etc.
Special Guest Speaker: Attendees heard award-winning author/TOH director Michealene Cristini Risley talk about her experiences in a Zimbabwe prison and as a speaker at the United Nations.
