Grounded in Music 2012 Benefit Concert

February 15th

Gibson Guitar Showroom

Country music stars Jack Ingram and Hayes Carll will co-headline this year's Grounded in Music 2012 Benefit Concert on Wednesday, February 15th. The concert event will be held at the Gibson Guitar Showroom to raise funds for the organization's music education program.

This event marks the second time that Ingram, the 2008 Academy of Country Music's "Best New Male Artist," has collaborated with Grounded in Music to raise funds for the program - which continues as a signature program of the Boys and Girls Club of Austin, where Grounded in Music's four-year relationship continues to build each year. Grounded in Music's students are taught a variety of skills in musicianship, which range from writing lyrics, playing instruments and exploring other areas of the music industry.

The program has also provided exclusive opportunities for the students to be mentored by participating artists Patty Griffin, Blue October, My Morning Jacket, Suzanna Choffel, Zeale, Vallejo, Broken Teeth and Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights. Other artists - such as Ray Wylie Hubbard and Cory Morrow - have financially supported the program.

All event proceeds will be used to purchase musical instruments for under-privileged youth, provide education in musicianship, teach music theory and offer music-related opportunities outside of performance. The event is open to the public, and prior to the performance, a reception will be offered for all sponsors and pre-party ticket holders.

Doors will open at 6: 30 p.m., kicking off with a performance by Grounded in Music students. Tickets are $35 and $50 for general admission.

The Gibson Guitar Showroom is located in Penn Field at 3601 S. Congress, Suite G400. For more information, visit www.GroundedInMusic.org.
