1.31.09 - UM Afterparty Benefit for Vega Productions

Thank you to everyone who came out last Saturday in support of Vega Productions and to those who helped make the show a success including God Johnson, The Histronic, Umphrey's McGee and The Fineline. We were able to raise $4000.00, which will help fund 2009's charitable activities - a good portion of that money came as a result of the silent auction - thanks to those donors including The MN Wild, Umphrey's McGee, American Guitar & Band, The St. Paul Hotel, artist Michelle Ochs and many more. More photos and information about the show can be found on the Vega Productions facebook page here.

We've got some big announcements to make in the coming weeks, so check back often to stay in the loop!

On Saturday, January 31st, Vega Productions will present our first ever benefit event with proceeds being used to fund our charitable activities for 2009. Our organization is experiencing a growth spurt and operational funds are needed to help us as we strive to reach our goal of donating $100,000.00 worth of instruments and art supplies to needy schools this year.

Saturday's show is at the Fineline and is being produced in conjunction with Umphrey's McGee's 3-night Minneapolis run at First Avenue. Our show features the music of God Johnson & The Histronic with some special guests expected. We will also run a silent auction which will include one-of-a-kind Umphrey's items, a Minnesota Wild team-signed hockey stick, a Rex Grossman signed official Chicago Bears jersey, spa and hotel gift certificates and an original live performance painting that will be created by artist Michelle Ochs during the concert.

Thanks to all of the bands, artists, silent auction donors, and everyone else who helped make this show happen!
