Jeff Beninato, formerly of The dB's and a native of New Orleans, evacuated to Chicago to escape Hurricane Katrina. He "met with some great people at Chase Bank in Chicago and set up a New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund. The account # is 699721957. WXRT in Chicago is interested in giving it a push, and I'm writing something for the Chicago Reader. Whatever comes in, we'll try to get everyone back in gear at the very least.
Food and shelter money as well. I'll try to get my brother going on a web site to take donations, and have an area on it to find out what everyone needs, too. Cross your fingers."

Please donate to this worthy and timely cause. We will try to post the PDF file for an accompanying flyer in the LINKS area of this website. Please pass this info along to any and all. Additional info is available by writing neworleansmusiciansrelief@hotmail.com

The PDF is now online. More info here:

All the best,
AJ
