Benefit for Ben Davis
8:30pm Saturday, February 23, 2013
N Street Cohousing Common House
716 N Street, Davis, CA 95616

N Street Music will host a benefit house concert for Ben Davis on
February 23, 2013. This musical evening will showcase three local
Davis bands:  Ryan and Jon Davis, the 5-cent Redemption Band, and the
Telling. The proceeds will be directed to helping provide the daily
care needed for Ben as he continues his life-giving research of
treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Ben Davis is a wonderful father, husband and brilliant scientist who
has dedicated his career to groundbreaking research on the causes and
treatment of emphysema and COPD. In 2008 Ben was diagnosed with a rare
neuromuscular degenerative disease that has taken an enormous toll on
his body, yet he remains passionately invested in helping others
through his research. Ben is now wheelchair bound and communicates via
a laptop computer, and requires full time care. His family has
provided critical support both at home and in the lab. Yet it has
reached a point, as Ben's condition has progressed, that financial
demands have become extreme.  In discussing the challenges that his
illness has presented him, Ben has expressed real frustration - not on
behalf of his own needs, but in not being able to help others.
Indeed, even while struggling with his own illness he remains
passionately and steadfastly committed to alleviating suffering and
extending quality of life for others. Ben is truly a man of remarkable
spirit.

The musical evening features three local bands:

Ryan and Jon Davis
Ben’s brothers, Ryan and Jon, will be stepping out to perform … they
don’t know what!!

5-cent Redemption Band
The 5-cent Redemption Band is an acoustic folk rock band reclaiming
the good ones and firing out new ones; most recently seen at local
Davis hotspots such as the Domes, Luka’s b-day party, and Joel’s BBQ.

The Telling
With a high and lonesome soulful sound, the Telling bring a message to
the musical world that explores the roots and branches of the tragic
and hopeful American experience.
