The Deepwater Horizon oil well has been filled with cement and millions of gallons of oil are no longer gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. It is with cautious optimism that we, Be Part of the Solution, rejoice at this fact. Now, the real work of rebuilding lives, communities, and the life - sustaining waters of the Gulf Coast must begin in earnest.
To assist in these efforts, Be Part of the Solution - a coalition of friends, musicians, and advocates have banned together with the United Way of Greater New Orleans to host a day of benefit concerts at The Howlin' Wolf and Howlin' Wolf Den in the Warehouse District of New Orleans.
Additionally, Be Part of the Solution will be working with The Roots of Music, an organization aimed at enriching the lives of children with the gifts of music, culture, and values. The Roots of Music provides music education in history, theory, instrumental instruction, and ensemble performance. Furthermore, academic tutoring is offered to ensure the students maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in school.
All proceeds from warehouseFest 2010 will benefit both the United Way for Greater New Orleans and The Roots of Music organization.
