* Mark your calendars, campers. On Thursday, April 8th at 7 pm some friends of the late, great Carlos Hernandez Gomez are throwing a benefit concert at FitzGerald’s in Berwyn…
All proceeds from the concert and auctions will benefit Living Water International (LWI), a faith-based, non-profit organization that helps communities in developing countries acquire safe drinking water. In particular, the proceeds will help to build a water well in Carlos’ honor in Haiti, as well as fund additional clean water projects.
Carlos watched coverage of the Haiti earthquake the week before he died and was deeply affected. He knew the work of LWI is what is truly needed there; without clean water, there is no foundation for development. Everything that LWI stands for reflects Carlos’ love of others and of God.
The lineup…
It will be a true rock and roll salute to Carlos, with performances by some of his local favorites and closest friends: The Beatle Brothers, Phil Angotti and Brad Elvis, and Eric Howell. To kick off the festivities, Carlos’ own band, The Gear, will reunite to perform for the first time in 15 years. Carlos’ best friend, actor Joe Farina, will serve as master of ceremonies for the evening.
There’s a place every one of us can go to
Maybe you have been there once or twice
Where all your friends just look at you and whisper
And they want to give you nothing but advice
