Eric is coming off the release of his solo album SKYKING last fall to rip through a set of favorites. Minneapolis based Freaque will be performing their funky carnival 10 piece to rattle the pillars of power. Both artists live with a spinal cord injury and have joined this effort because of their personal stake in this work. Zoë Says Go - friends and family of Freaque - after a run at The Minnesota Fringe Festival bring their blend of rock/folk/soul to make noise and raise funds for spinal cord injury recovery.Unite 2 Fight Paralysis is a Minneapolis based non-profit fighting to expand federal support for spinal cord injury research in response to cuts by the current Administration. Join us!To learn more about u2fp.org https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/41802b70-a843-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w573-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg Guitarist from Portugal The Man, Musician, Entrepreneur, producer, photographer and best friend of the arts based out of the pacific northwest.
