DETAILS:Have a great time while helping to raise funds for a chronically ill little boy from Healdsburg, California, Nicholas Eaken. Originally diagnosed with Burkitt?s Lymphoma Cancer which is driven by a weak immune system and infections. He Was not able to complete Chemotherapy due to an underlying immune problem and Eosinophilic Esophagitis. The only Hope for Nicholas is to be treated by a specialist at Cincinnati Children?s Hospital (Dr. Rothenberg, an expert on the disorder). Health Net (COBRA) Insurance has declined to cover any part of the cost to treat him there. No treatment here has helped. So, lets try to help raise some badly needed funds for Nicholas! See his Mothers web page at www.myspace.com/superbatspiderman_batmom for more information. Add them as your MySpace friend while you are there! Mtndawg will be performing Solo/Acoustic, and there will be 6 to 8 other music acts performing throughout the evening.

DETAILS: With the changes in the band this year, Mtndawg decided to wait to release the 10 completed electric songs he recorded with Fast Freddie & Mark Eads. Instead, he is recording some Solo-Acoustic music to include, since he is performing Solo more often.
