On Nov. 20th a group of talented singers, songwriters, and thinkers joined forces in Des Moines, IA to hold the first ever FolksGiving Benefit, raising donations for the Central Iowa Homeless Youth Shelters. Napkin Sketch was on hand, capturing video and sound, providing record of the musical, magical evening.
Finn Miles unveiled a new song, “Warm warm heart” for the event…listen and watch below!
In preparation for the fantastic billing for FolksGiving I suggest a few little preparation points.
1. Bring your admission. $5 Donation or hats, gloves, canned food donation will get you in the door. Remember, generosity is the key to the door of FolksGiving!
2.Check out the bands…warm up your voice…sing along!
3. Be a friend! FolksGiving is a community event, so either come with friends, or make some friends at the show. FolksGiving will be held in the comfy 4th Street Theater attached to Java Joe’s in downtown Des Moines, IA.
We’ve got a big idea and we want to get you involved.
On Friday, November 20th, from 6pm – 9pm at the Java Joe’s – 4th Street Theater, we’re launching the first “FolksGiving” folk/acoustic music concert to support the Central Iowa Homeless Youth Shelter. Through Folksgiving we hope to provide winter supplies (gloves, hats, coats) and Thanksgiving food for the kids at the shelter.
By partnering with a variety of area churches and other charitable organizations we hope to raise community awareness of youth homelessness and provide the shelter the resources they need to provide comfort this Thanksgiving season.
A collection of some of Iowa’s hottest acoustic/folk bands will be entertaining throughout the night, including:
Gabe Cordova
Dustin Smith
Bella Soul
Finn Miles
Menlo
Jacob Tyler Wolfgang
and book readings from Danny of “Seedlings.”
