From owner-krisgigs@swiftmail.com Tue Aug 17 18:13:09 1999 Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 18:13:02 -0400 (EDT) To: krisgigs@swiftmail.com Charan Devereaux, the executive producer of the Respond CD and a friend of kris' wanted all of you to hear about this message.... Hi there! I want you to know about a very special event. On Thursday, August 19th at 7:30 pm Club Passim will present a Concert for Kosovo at Harvard University’s Sanders Theater. You can buy tickets now by calling 617.496.2222 (Tues-Sat, 12-6pm). The evening will feature an amazing lineup of artists. 100% of the proceeds will benefit three humanitarian and relief organizations in Boston that are working to rebuild Kosovo and provide assistance: Oxfam America, the International Rescue Committee, and Physicians for Human Rights. To learn more about these organizations please visit the concert website at: http://www.benefitkosovo.org Although some refugees have already returned to Kosovo, more than 100,000 refugees remain in the camps. According to Physicians for Human Rights, more than 100 medical clinics have been destroyed in Kosovo. The UN reports that almost half of the schools in the province have been severely destroyed or damaged and 50% of the houses are damaged. In most towns, the water supplies have been endangered according to Oxfam America. The International Rescue Committee is assisting Kosovar refugees in the Boston area. The concert lineup includes: Ellis Paul -- Ten time Boston Music Award winner and Rounder recording artist Ellis Paul has been heralded by the Boston Globe as "A national folk star and the quintessential Boston songwriter." Catie Curtis -- Deemed a "folk-rock goddess" by the New Yorker, Catie Curtis was a performer in last summer's Lilith Fair and toured with Mary Chapin Carpeter. This summer she headlined at the Newport Folk Festival. Her new album on Rykodisc is "A Crash Course in Roses." Five O’Clock Shadow -- Boston’s own pop vocal band, Five O’Clock Shadow was recently nominated for three Contemporary Acappella Awards. The band’s sound is an amalgam of rock, funk, dance, hip hop, jazz, and edgy grooves. Walter Robinson and his Gospel Ensemble -- Walter Robinson's musical MOSES sold out two performances at the Emerson Majestic Theatre. His gospel ensemble recently returned from a national tour. Greg Greenway -- "A major talent" (Boston Phoenix), Eastern Front Recording Artist Greg Greenway plays with "foot-stomping passion" (Boston Globe). Zabe i Babe -- Formed by Sarajevo native Minja lausevic, Zabe i Babe features Balkan vocals in overdrive. Sing Out Magazine says, "Exploding with passion, Zabe i Babe mixes wild abandon with a raucously good time." Plus, Cambridge-born commentator and humorist Jimmy Tingle will emcee the event. An internationally acclaimed political satirist, Jimmy is now the commentator of CBS TV’s 60 Minutes II. Jimmy’s one-man show Uncommon Sense: The Education of an American Comic had sold-out runs at the Hasty Pudding Theatre and Copley Theater in Boston in both 1996 and 1998. He has been named Boston’s Best Comedian by Boston Magazine; has appeared on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with Conan O’Brien, and his own One Night Stand comedy special on HBO.
