The Feeding the Soul Foundation is made up of three generous women who bring concert ideas straight from the founder’s coffeeshop to the stage; each one benefits a different local, national or global charity.
The foundation is hosting a CD release benefit concert on Saturday at the Auditorium at the Neuroscience Institute in La Jolla. Tickets, unfortunately, have already sold out for $50 a pop. Luckily though, the Feeding the Soul: Vol. 1-Family Dinner CDs -- featuring all 11 performers, plus three more -- are still available.
Some of the artists included on the CD are Bushwalla -- who performed his latest hit, “I Raise Up” on NBCSanDiego on Friday -- Tristan Prettyman, Raining Jane, Dawn Mitschele and Alex Woodard.
This weekend's concert will benefit the Lewy Body Dementia Association, which supports sufferers of the Parkinson’s-like disease, and their families and caretakers. It’s a cause that is close to the founder and president of the Feeding the Soul Foundation, Vallie Gilley, whose mother is fighting the disease.
The benefit CD also contains a cookbook-let with recipes for three family-style meals for large parties. Proceeds from the CD benefit SuperFood Drive, which promotes health and well-being.
Good music for a great cause. Why not?
