Saw an amazing show last night that a dear friend has hosted for 12 years now. The benefit organization is High Hopes and the music director is Eric Marienthal. Eric is an amazing sax player that has always impressed. I have seen the shows for years now and every year is a treat!

This years guests included saxman Dave Koz, and 2 really fun Guitarists - Peter White and Jonathan Butler. David Benoit was the guest keyboard player and the house band was amazing as always. Special note to Bernie Dressel who just killed the drum chair!

Mark your calendar for 2011 and plan on getting tickets around May or June. High Hopes is a head trauma group that helps victims and victim's families with this difficult life change that follows head trauma incidence.  

This is a great organization and an honest benefit to support High Hopes and raise awareness of this issue. Eric and Leann Marienthal have been working with High Hopes for 12 years now and this is a great cause and awesome benefit event!
