TDawg Presents is proud to be a part of a great community effort to produce a benefit on Sunday, September 30 for Olivia, daughter of dear friends David Broyles & Yvonne McVann. In March of 2017, Olivia was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease called Juvenile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). There is no cure but she did receive a bone marrow transplant last June which has improved the disease’s trajectory. The long-term prognosis is for continued loss of gross motor function. Learn more about MLD: http://www.mldfoundation.org/index.php

This Family-Friendly FUN-raiser is a gathering of friends, love and hope. Money raised will cover some of the costs to make Olivia’s home more accessible (specifically a bathroom that will accommodate her increasing mobility issues). Local restaurants Fox Bros. BBQ, Raging Burrito, and Bhjojanic have stepped up for generous food donations, and Sweetwater Brewing Company has been kind enough to donate adult beverages, and there will be an abundance of non-alcoholic beverages for everyone.

We hope you can make it to this extremely enjoyable afternoon of music, friendship, love, and some delicious bites.

Vassar & TDawgThe 8th Annual Atlanta Holiday Hootenanny is dedicated to the memory of the late great fiddler Vassar Clements, whose career spanned seven decades. Vassar performed alongside many musical luminaries, including Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Linda Ronstadt, Jerry Garcia, Peter Rowan, David Grisman, Stephane Grappelli, Dicky Betts, John Hartford, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Col. Bruce Hampton and so many more. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him and get to know him on a personal level. On a side note, Vassar first performed with Col. Bruce at HarvestFest in 1999. The WOW factor was in full effect needless to say as Vassar simply tore it up on “Time is Free” that also featured Barry Richman on guitar.

Please plan to join us on Thursday, December 20 for our “annual holiday party” that never fails to provide a WOW factor by the end, and rest assured this one will be no different!
