Extended Play Benefit Concert for Christa's Mom, Nov 16th

It was a great night of music at the Thirsty Mind Friday Nov, 16th. The occasion was a benefit concert for Jen Henderson, the mom of the Yellow Sofa's very favorite Kindergarten Teacher/Singer Songwriter,  angel-voiced Christa Joy Henderson.

Christa Joy and Jeremy Kent Headlined a special benefit concert at the Yellow Sofa Extended Play on November 16th at the Thirsty Mind Cafe and Wine Bar.

The concert was also dedicated to celebrating the culmination of a fundraising campaign that Christa and her partner Jeremy Kent initiated on Jen's behalf. More information is available here.  

A sampling of some of the many highlights of the evening:

                                          Singer-songwriter, Felix Harvey rocks out and on.

                        

  

                                        Gifted songwriter, musician and open mic pilot

                                        Scott Cadwallader, enjoying the evening

                                        from behind the mixing board somehow reminiscent 

                                        of Mark Twain in some way caption writers wish

                                        they could actually articulate.

                                        Gloriously sweet family music with Jenny, Esme and Ethan featuring autoharp and mandolin/banjo.

Don't miss this!

Kind and funny, sometimes gently absurd and touching songs byJeremy Kent-- 

                                  exuding the attitude you might tend to anticipate from someone wearing a bow tie and cabbie's hat with a red robot sticker on his guitar on a day other than March 17th.

Also contributing to the program were the SilverTone5 who are seen here in this archival footage from an early concert they did at the Star Club in Hamburg, West Germany in 1966 when they were still relative unknowns.

Please note: The Yellow Sofa Open mic and Extended Play will be taking the week of Nov 22nd &-23rd off to celebrate the conquest of the North American continent by an ignorant civilization that has almost completely ruined it. See you on Nov. 29th.
