September 10, 2011 at The Nutty Brown Cafe


After hearing about the devestation that the Bastrop wildfires were causing, Will scrambled to get every musician he could find to get together and raise money for the survivors. The fires started on Sunday and by the end of Friday night, over $10,300 had been raised for the Central Texas Red Cross! Thanks to everyone who came and showed a tremendous outpouring of support for their fellow Texans and had a great time too! Click here to see photos.
