It’s a great week to support a cause, with two benefits taking place. And it’s a pretty sweet bonus that you can see some great local bands in the process.
The first is a benefit for Rudy Beredo, who has a rare blood disease called aplastic anemia. The show cost will go toward covering the bills for his extended hospital stays and medications.
Presented by Wiretap Music, the show will feature three fantastic bands – Black Fiction, 60 Watt Kid and Chairman Wow, and takes place Wednesday at Thee Parkside. 8:30pm, $6-20.
