YouTubeHere Comes Your Weekend/Parking Lot Blow Out 2Strong women partnerships fuel the 2nd-year fundraising event for the Columbus Music Co-op.
(Columbus, Ohio) The Here Comes Your Weekend/Parking Lot Blowout 2, held Saturday, June 30, 2007, is the ultimate event for those post-Comfest blues! Held in the Surly Girl Saloon parking lot, at 1126 N. High Street, this show is carrying on the tradition from last year’s original - hosted by artist extraordinaire, Thom Lessner. This festival will include live outdoor music all day under the tents, a little nostalgia, plenty of Pabst Blue Ribbon, hot dogs, DJs late-night in the Surly Girl Saloon Parlor and a day filled with good music, good friends all for a good cause.
The Surly Girl Saloon and the Columbus Music Co-op have partnered again to bring this super-fun, FREE, all ages event to the masses. All proceeds from the tent will go to the Columbus Music Co-op, a local non-profit organization that is using the money raised at this event to launch an Emergency Assistance Fund for Musicians. The fund will be an active pool of money that will be available to Columbus musicians without health insurance who need financial aid with their healthcare needs.
Outside, the Surly Girl Saloon party tent will serve ice-cold Pabst Blue Ribbon and feature live music all day long with major acts including; The Means, Buffalo Corpse (world debut!), The Lindsay, Preston Furman (re-uniting!), The Patsys, Earwig, Good Company, Sweatheart, The Exceptionals, and Terribly Empty Pockets.
“Columbus has an amazingly vibrant music community and Here Comes Your Weekend is a great opportunity to discover Columbus artists while supporting a great cause in the beautiful Garden District,†said CMC Co-Director, Erin Moore.
The Columbus Music Co-op was founded in 2005 with a mission of making Columbus a better place through music. The grassroots community organization awarded $500 grants to two music projects earlier this year and hosts workshops and networking events for the Central Ohio music community.
The event is also a great demonstration of strong women partnerships – produced by CMC Directors Erin Moore and Jess Faller and Surly Girl Saloon owners Elizabeth Lessner, Marcy Mays and Carmen Owens.
