On June 17, 2020 there was a virtual concert benefit that was created for our Acoustic Underground series 'Live With Love From San Diego' on Facebook Live. The virtual fundraiser featured musicians from Acoustic Spot Talent and each of the artists got to choose a charity close to their heart during these times.
The live-stream supported the talents of five musicians from San Diego to benefit four charities. We partnered with three restaurants that had just reopened after the pandemic and social distance was lifted with restrictions. Hopefully they will all be able to have live music back in their establishments, safely social distanced very soon.
The Southern California Blues sensation Ben Powell started the night off with a performance to benefit the Mississippi Blues Foundation for the Blues Musicians Benevolent Fund. Thank you to for our friend Justin Hodges for his movement at Live From The Delta for the charity suggestion.
Next, we featured the incredible singer and songwriter, Kinnie Dye, who raised money for the Rock n' Roll Camp For Girls San Diego. This camp uses 'music as a powerful way to communicate and collaborate while being guided by inspirational female mentors.'
To assist a dog rescue during this pandemic, we had the the great talent of Mike Myrdal perform live at the Catamaran Resort in Mission Bay for the Pug Rescue San Diego.
The night ended with a lively performance from the newlywed duo Rosa's Cantina and they aided the Common Ground Foundation. Their mission~ To empower high school students from under-served communities to become future leaders. Our programs focus on character development, social impact, healthy living, technology, financial literacy, creative arts, and global leadership.
