Benefit for the CHS site coming up next Saturday

The Greens performing a benefit for Children's Home Society of West Virginia next Saturday

The Greens will be performing in a holiday season show as a benefit for Children's Home Society of West Virginia, Saturday December 19th at 10 pm at the Thirsty Turtle in Parkersburg (out route 47, just out of town, toward WVU-P) Aaron Phillips, the ace instrumentalist and fantastic "Renaissance Man"- will do an opening set for the Greens starting around 9 pm, and most likely sit in for some saxophone work with the Greens throughout the evening. Aaron has been in the Bay area of California for a number of years, completing a PHD in his science fields, while playing music in all sorts of combinations out there. A group he is in is worth checking out through his facebook page- you can get a listen to his west coast music that way. The Greens have been wanting to do a benefit for CHS for some time, and we thought this holiday season was a good time; we are billing it as the "Little Green Stocking" benefit (in conjunction with our Little Red Stocking campaign during the holiday season) where we raise money for our agency, through the sale of "stockings" at area businesses, which supports our work with area children and families. The Greens are wrapping up a successful 2009, in which they traveled a bit to spread their great sound and live show, and solidified their WV reputation as one of the outstanding bands in the state. Their hardworking performances, and creative musicianship, and Andy's fantastic songwriting continue to win fans, and amaze the loyal throng. Come out and see them next Saturday, and support a good cause.
