From the Elm City to the Crescent City:
Benefit for New Orleans’ Musicians
Many volunteers in the local music and business community of New Haven, Connecticut, came forward to donate their time, goods, services, and talents to help those in the New Orleans music community devastated by
Hurricane Katrina.
$7,687.00 was raised for the Tipitina’s Foundation!
Check out Photos of the event here.

SPECIAL THANKS
We would like to extend special thanks to Johnny “Java” Murphy and James Velvet for their continuous help, support, and encouragement. They have donated so much of their time, provided us with so many contacts, and truly have done too many things to list.
We would also like to extend special thanks to John Cornell for the amazing, silk-screen posters; Chris Snyder for being our #1 sound guy; Rick Allison, our kind host for the evening; and Nick Appleby for recording the entire benefit concert.
Special thanks to all the musicians for donating their time, talents, and helping us promote this event.
Special thanks to all of our donors, volunteers, and everyone who came out to the show to support The Tipitina’s Foundation. This was truly a community-inspired event! All contributions are sure to make a difference in the lives of those musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina and will help to rebuild and preserve the spirit of New Orleans.
Sincerely,
Jessica Brauner
