Wanted: Musicians who will play for free

[Ava]

Yeah, so I know that doesn't sound too appealing, but let me tell you about the event. Peace Takes Courage is going to be holding a Southern US Peace Protest at the Alabama State Captiol. The event is going to be advertised towards teens and young adults, but we are welcoming people of all ages. We plan to advertise this for the next few weeks and hopefully have a pretty big turn out. We already have several people who have volunteered to help out, but we are looking for local bands that will play at the event for no pay - we don't have money. No pay doesn't really attract many people, but all the proceeds that we raise at this even are going to go towards the "save darfur" organization, so it's all for a good cause. Let me know if anyone is interested or if anyone knows a band or musician that might would do it for us.

Thanks everyone!

Contact the college Democratic clubs at UAB or other universities nearby. Ask if any of their members are in bands. (just a thought)
