iAM?Music kicks off with benefit concertWhat: “Playing for Change,” a benefit for the iAM Music Institute featuring Hello Dollface with special guest Delaney Davis A night of music will help introduce locals to Durango’s newest nonprofit organization, the iAM Music Institute. The event, “Playing for Change,” is a double entendre, playing off a global movement of the same name aiming to change the world through music, as well as “change” in a monetary sense.
Edwards is also the lead singer of well-known local band Hello Dollface, which will be headlining the event. New Mexico singer songwriter Delaney Davis will open the show. The evening will wrap up with a special all-star encore featuring members from seven local bands. According to Edwards, the goal of iAM Music – which she co-founded with bandmate Jesse Ogle – is to provide a progressive, creative approach to music education. In addition, the program seeks to encourage students to be active in social equality, community and environmental causes. The program reaches out to local students who may not otherwise have access to regular music education, including those as the DeNier Youth Center, Animas High School, Big Picture High and St. Columba, as well as any others wanting to learn music. Funds from Saturday’s show will help fund scholarships for iAMs programs. “We hope our students become leaders who embody our philosophy of inspiring change, through positive rhythms and actions in the world in which we thrive,” states the iAM mission statement. “In short, the iAM Music Institute aims to share this vision with a global community and strengthen the desire to inspire through music.” Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 day of show. For tickets or more information, go to www.iammusic.us. |
“We are asking people to bring their spare change and donate directly to our scholarship fund,” iAM’s co-founder and Creative Director Ashley Edwards said.Thursday25
