Help Austin Help Haiti Benefit – Austin, TX

When disaster strikes, the musicians of Austin are quick to respond with a benefit concert. For the people of Haiti that were devastated by the earthquake two weeks ago, Joe Ely and over twenty of his most talented friends joined together with some 2,000 music lovers for a ten hour marathon concert at the Austin Music Hall Sunday to raise money and show support.

In addition to the fantastic music there was a silent auction with memorabilia, gift certificates and other merchandise from local business as well as a bake sale and raffle for an acoustic guitar autographed by all of the performers — with all of the proceeds going directly to Haiti through the Clinton-Bush Fund and OXFAM.
