Live music featuring Public Eye, one of Tahoe’s original ‘house bands,’ with special guests; event proceeds to benefit those impacted by Carr and Mendocino Complex fires
A special concert event is being planned in Tahoe City next month, with event proceeds to be donated to a nonprofit organization assisting those impacted by the Carr and Mendocino Complex fires. On Sunday, September 9 at 3 p.m., local residents and visitors are invited to the free concert at Commons Beach in Tahoe City.
Similar to the popular summer Concerts at Commons Beach, the afternoon will feature music by one of Tahoe’s original “house bands,” Public Eye, with special guests including Ben Martin from the Tahoe Truckee School of Music and Michael Loomis. Lindsay Romack will serve as the event’s emcee, and beer and wine will be available for purchase. Contributions collected that day, as well as a portion of beer and wine sales will be donated to fire victims.
The show is being co-produced by local residents Robbie (Renegade) Polomsky and Judy Friedman, with support from the Tahoe City Public Utility District, Tahoe City Downtown Association, Tahoe Dave’s Skis & Boards, Bridgetender Tavern And Grill, Lagunitas Brewing Co and Barefoot Wine & Bubbly. In addition, all of the musicians will donate their time.
“The smoke we’ve experienced in the Tahoe-Truckee region this summer as a result of the fires burning across the state has been a constant reminder of the incredible losses people have experienced. There’s a strong feeling in our community that we can and should do something to help. This is that something,” said Friedman.
