"Good morning everyone!
My band Karate Show recently played a benefit show for the Franklin Food Pantry at the THE BLACK BOX. This was our first ever all acoustic show in 15 years as a band, so it’s a special one.
We’re hoping to raise a bit more money for the Pantry by sharing the recording. It’s available to download for whatever you’d like to contribute. A buck? $50 bucks? Anything. Every dollar will go directly to the Franklin Food Pantry. Come on, it's important.
Thank you to our fantastic sound engineer, @ Robert Swalley, for capturing the performance for us. We love working with you man. Also, huge thanks to Matthew Zajac. for the incredible mix. Always top-notch, my friend! Ray Auger and William James, thanks again for the invite.
Peace and love, peace and love..."
