Northwest Battle Buddies (newly formed charity that rescues & trains dogs as Certified Companion Animals for disabled Vets with depression or PTSD) is hosting the Beer & Wine Garden; which will generate start-up funding.
The lineup of 13 bands includes locals & bands from all over the country, as well as one from Vancouver, BC. Many of the bands were hand-selected from those that Vista Financial Planning Group had the opportunity to hear and meet at Austin's internation music fest, SXSW.
The lineup will range from acoustic jazz/blues to eclectic indie rock, electropop, alternative rock & rock.
With Vista's vision and the support of the bands, who have volunteered their time & talents; they hope to make this an annual event that continues to grow, brings emerging talent to the area, as well as financial support to keep kids & music together.
