"A Benefit for Sweet Home New Orleans"

On December 4, at Tipitina's, Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, Brer Rabbit and Jonny 5 of the Flobots, Hank Shocklee of Public Enemy, Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy), Nicole Atkins, Waterflow of the Senegalese Hip Hop band Wageble, John Boutte and members of Bonerama come together to play a benefit show for musicians displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Showtime is 9 pm and tickets are just $12. This benefit show is presented by Future of Music Coalition and Air Traffic Control.

This performance is for the benefit of Sweet Home New Orleans (SHNO), an umbrella organization for a coalition of non-profit agencies serving New Orleans' music community. SHNO provides relocation, housing, and social services to musicians and tradition bearers in need. Thousands of New Orleans musicians have yet to find stable housing in their neighborhoods since the flood of 2005. SHNO's mission is to help these artists return to their communities, where they can revitalize the city and share their unique culture with future generations.
