Saturday, August 18th!  5PM-2AM!  You may have heard a little bit about UpBeat!. Well, this show is going to put it front and center in the minds of Atlanta! UpBeat! was founded in memory of Tony Dinneweth. Tony was upbeat about his friends, family, music, pinstriping, motorcycles, heck, just life in general. He was taken from us way too soon. So to continue his belief of “do what makes you happy, it’s worth it”, UpBeat! has been created. Once on our feet, UpBeat! will be emergency fund for local independent musicians. Van broken down, equipment stolen or broken, medical issues making it hard to pay bills….UpBeat! will be there to help. The following acts have kindly accepted to play for the first UpBeat! benefit at the Star Bar. Doors will be at 5pm!

Special Fundraising Event

The Promotors have partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project’s, Warrior Care Network, to host special fundraising events that shall benefit the WWP’s Warrior Care Network.

Warrior Care Network is more than a PTSD program, it is a first-of-its-kind partnership between Wounded Warrior Project and four national academic medical centers of excellence including Emory Healthcare, Massachusetts General Hospital, Rush University Medical Center, and UCLA Health. In cooperation with the Department of Veterans Affairs, this program will connect thousands of warriors with world-class care.

Warrior Care Network is a $100 million commitment to battle the invisible wounds of war by filling gaps in government care and reaching those who might otherwise go untreated. Wounded warriors will be connected with partner hospitals for evaluation and treatment options, enabling life changing PTSD help.

The Promotors – Tony Olivas and Larry Rodriguez look forward to your participation in the world class event.

Your host and emcee for the Expo…  Captain Steele!
