Jefferson Airplane founding member, Bob Harvey will be the headliner for the upcoming benefit. Bob found his way back to writing and recording music with the band “San Francisco Blue”. The name was chosen because San Francisco and Bluegrass music are the roots of his music. Bob founded the Slippery Rock String Band in 1963 and reformed the band in late 1965 after leaving the Airplane. What San Francisco Blue is all about is rooted in bluegrass music but strongly influenced by both folk-rock and psychedelic music. Over the past several months, Bob has been recording a new studio Album called “Hurting for People”. The title cut is a song originally written by Bob Harvey and Skip Spence (Moby Grape) when they were both members of Jefferson Airplane.Don Stevenson (drummer for Moby Grape), will be there also.The concept of the benefit came to Debra Kennard, a long time friend of Jerry Miller’s, when she found out that JAMFA was in need of a place to locate.Other local bands that will be there to help raise money for this cause are, ‘It Don’t Matter’ with bassist Rick Burton, who was bass player and founding member of Jerry Miller’s band, ‘DiaBando’. Also, ‘The Billy Shew Band’, Knuclehead and Ender Brothers. The bands that are contributing to this benefit are doing so because they respect Jerry Miller and fully realize the vital service to the community JAMFA will help to fulfill.Tickets will go on sale at the door for $10.00 a head. Music starts at 1:00pm.
