Project Warmth Events Schedule

Join Project Warmth "in Concert" to Beat the Cold This Winter!

All shows (unless otherwise indicated) will be open to the general public. Please come out and support great local music as well as helping the homeless by bringing a coat, blanket, or other article of warm clothing to the show. Donated items should be clean and in good condition.

Events are currently being scheduled to benefit the Project Warmth program. If you are interested in performing at an event, hosting an event, or receiving more information about Project Warmth, email us.

Upcoming 2008 Project Warmth Events:

Several events are in the planning stages, and will be announced soon!

In July, Allison Crowe played two benefit shows for the EDAF in Massachusetts and New York.

Delta logo In January, members of Delta Airlines Community Partners office in Cincinnati held a Project Warmth collection. Exceeding all expectations, project coordinator Gina Brumley reported that they ended up with over 75 bags of warm clothing! The clothing was then distributed to the homeless by The Drop Inn Center, a shelter that works to provide essential services to people experiencing homelessness in Cincinnati, and to empower them to move from homelessness to housing.

The following events were held in 2007:

The fourth annual Make a Difference Day Show at the Seaside Center in Encinitas, CA on October 20th featured Peggy Lebo and Friends.

The following events were held in 2006:

Third annual Encinitas Make a Difference Day Show

Saturday, October 21, 2006 in Encinitas, CA: 3rd Annual "Eve Selis and Friends Make A Difference"
Benefiting the Everyday Angels Foundation's Project Warmth with Randi Driscoll and Sue Palmer at Seaside Church Auditorium.

Admission: $5 plus blanket, warm clothing, canned pet food or towel donation, $10 without donation

Donations from this show were given to the Interfaith Shelter Network, an organization that finds shelter for the homeless during the winter months, as well as to The Storefront - the only emergency homeless shelter in San Diego for youth ages 12-17.

Donations also benefited Rachel’s Women’s Center which provides a continuum-of-care for homeless and very-low income women. Operating since 1980, Rachel's Programs have provided services and support for thousands of women. The programs include day and night shelter, transitional housing, low-income apartments, job readiness training and apprenticeships.

Another beneficiary was the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. Since 1961, Rancho Coastal Humane Society has been dedicated to placing unwanted animals in loving, permanent homes. Last year alone, RCHS was able to give nearly 1,500 animals a second chance at life. Since 1997, RCHS has provided temporary shelter and care for the pets of victims of domestic violence. Because of this valuable resource, women and their children are able to seek the help they need, knowing their pets are safe.

Two Project Warmth shows held in Virginia

Since 1991, Falling Mountain Music has given a voice to music that has become increasingly marginalized by today's commercial forces. They have been empowering an ever-growing wealth of consumers to seek a wide array of musical choices unimpaired by commercial considerations – via the internet, and through their one-to-one contact with fans. They enthusiastically support and service independent and public radio stations that share their commitment to provide a more diverse and meaningful spectrum of music to their listeners.

To celebrate Falling Mountain's 15th anniversary and to commemorate the release of the Making Music Matter CD, they have joined forces with The EveryDay Angels Foundation's Project Warmth for two special concerts to help their less fortunate neighbors stay warm and fed through the winter. In addition, the EDAF will be the recipient for the Making Music Matter program for the last part of the year, so CD purchases at Falling Mountain's website will help this wonderful cause even if you live far from the Virginia concerts.

What fun the shows were – it is rare when two or three of Falling Mountain's artists are in the same place at the same time, so a gathering of seven different label acts for a concert is perhaps a once in a decade event. The collaborations of voices and instruments both planned and spontaneous can be guaranteed to cover a wide range of musical styles and stories. We hope that you will plan to make the journey with us for at least one of these concerts.

At both concerts we collected non-perishable food items to help stock the local food banks heading into the holiday season. The shows were held:

Saturday, October 21, 2006: Shenandoah Valley Concert
Court Square Theater, Harrisonburg VA

Sunday, October 22, 2006: Northern Virginia Concert
Arcola United Methodist Church, Ashburn VA

Falling Mountain artists performing at the shows included Randy Barrett, Debra Cowan, Michael DeLalla, Madeline MacNeil, Andrew McKnight and wild carrot. Please visit www.fallingmountain.com for more info on these artists.

New England Blues Festival

Sunday, September 24, 2006: The New England Blues Festival
Middleboro, MA – The EDAF partnered with a new event to promote Project Warmth! This new festival, held to promote blues music in southern New England, also benefited several local charities, including a family shelter. As usual, audience donations of blankets, coats and sweaters through the EDAF were distributed to the local community.
