The Ugandan Water Project is hosting 11 Tanks Tonight, a live fundraising concert to support the installation of 11 rainwater collection systems in Uganda. Guests will enjoy live music while contributing to a vital cause: providing clean water access to thousands of students, educators, and community members.
Including performances by area bands Blue 22, Thurlow, and the Hilton-based FlashBamPow, the fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, December 13, from 7 to 11 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.), at Lovin’ Cup Bistro & Bar, 300 Park Point Drive, Rochester. There is a $5 cover charge. Free parking is available.
Power trio FlashBamPow’s intense live performances often flow between straight ahead jazz and funk, to improvisational jamming and eastern ragas. They often employ surreal video and art in their live shows, mostly created by Hilton guitarist Sean Madden, an award-winning artist who has exhibited his strange, surreal artwork globally. Philadelphia drummer Paulie Cucinella pushes the group’s intense live energy with his funky, hip style of playing. Veteran bassist Martin Dorren also plays bass synthesizer, keyboards and sings. Sean Madden plays guitars and a digital sound device called a “Kaossilator,” which allows him to blend otherworldly soundscapes into the band’s arrangements. The band plans on putting on a killer performance at the 11 Tanks Tonight fundraiser, including sharing four new singles they just recorded.
The event’s goal is to raise $41,800 to fund 11 rainwater collection systems. These water projects will provide clean water access to 6,650 students, educators, and community members in Uganda. This annual event has already funded 31 water projects and impacted over 12,000 people, helping bring safe water access to communities in need.
