LIVE MUSIC:
L.P. (acoustic set)
www.lprock.com
Foremost, there is that voice.
Southern music for Yankees?…L.P. distills the pure emotion and swagger that distinguished classic acts like Janis Joplin and The Rolling Stones into her own intoxicating strain of modern rock, one where the ratio of ferocity and sensitivity is perfectly calibrated. Her performances have been touted by luminaries including Howard Stern, producer Phil Ramone (Billy Joel, Paul Simon), and New York Times critic Ann Powers. She has collaborated with seasoned industry vets like Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes, Pink) and David Lowery (Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker). She is currently on hiatus from a continuous nation-wide tour.

TARA LYNNE
Beast’s own hidden treasure.
Music not for dummies. Intelligent, heart-breaking, soul-strengthening sounds courting subtle strumming and a voice that fills your fingers. Tara Lynne cuts and pastes her life on top of the world with lyrics that make you question your own reality.

THERE WILL BE THE OPTION TO CHOOSE YOUR CHARITY, DONATIONS TO EITHER:
FEED THE CHILDREN
Feed The Children has more than 25 truckloads of relief supplies, including food, bottled water, cleaning supplies, paper products and other emergency essentials on their way. They are heading into Louisiana, Mississippi, and the surrounding areas that were hit by Hurricane Katrina.

Truckloads are also on their way to Texas and Georgia to assist in relief efforts for those who have been evacuated from the devastated areas.

Feed The Children will continue to provide supplies and relief to the individuals, children and families affected by Hurricane Katrina for as long as necessary.

OR:
THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF NEW ORLEANS
“The story not as well known to the public is the devastation suffered by the animals in the stricken areas. We know that pets – owned and strays – have been victimized. But there are also countless horses, wild animals, and farm animals who have been killed or are now facing threats to their lives.”

In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, The HSUS has launched a massive relief effort to rescue animals and assist their caregivers in the disaster areas. Our highly trained Disaster Animal Response Teams are now in Mississippi and Texas coordinating a multi-state animal rescue and recovery effort. Our Disaster Response Unit, and other rescue vehicles affiliated with our teams, are in Mississippi.

We are feeling helpless and had to do something to cut through the saddness of this life altering event.
We hope to see you all there. And thanks for your continued support through our first 6 months.

BEAST.
