HAITI BENEFIT SATURDAY IN HERMOSA BEACH, CA

The historic Lighthouse (30 Pier Ave, Hermosa Beach) is hosting a full-day benefit on Jan. 30, for an orphanage in Haiti. The benefit will feature several South Bay cover bands, including former MC employee Mara (performing with her band Mara and the Big Rock Stars) as well as special guests to help raise money. The bands will cover music from classic rock to blues and families are welcome all day, so you can bring the kids and make a real difference for kids thousands of miles away.
