WEST SEATTLE, Washington, January 28, 2010 (WSFB) – This just in from ROCK4RELIEF Event Producer, Jamie Chamberlin:

As a final pre-show update:  Adam Gerhke from channel 13 morning news has come on board to MC tonight’s Rock 4 Rock concert and Raffle.  As well, performance artist Jimmy Gersen will be in attendance to produce a wall size painting during the course of the evening and donated to the cause.

I would like to thank the following people and sponsors that rallied behind this important cause to help make the Rock 4 Relief concert possible. The idea for a benefit show for the people of Haiti started two weeks ago through a casual  conversation I had with Charlie Beck of The Memphis Radio Kings. In that short period of time this effort has become larger than any of us imagined.

Between 3 events happening tonight, there will be between 16-18 bands playing within a 5 hour window, all donating their proceeds to the American Red Cross.  Seattle is without a doubt home to some of the most talent musicians and individuals with the biggest hearts. I’d like to commend all the bands and volunteers donating their time and talents throughout the city this evening.

If you are looking for something to do tonight, go out and catch one of these amazing benefit shows.
