Good Times For Good Reasons

December 5, 2011

Hi Everyone-
Hope and Anchor has a deep connection with the El Paso music scene. From the owners to the staffers, we have tried to help foster a better and stronger music scene in El Paso- that being said, some of our own need a hand.

The Lusitania are an incredibly talented and hard working band from El Paso. The have been carving out a fan base over the last few years both in town and on the road. The road is a tough place for young bands. There is no lack of challenges and these young guys just met with one of the toughest.

In the first few days of their fall tour, the boys hit a bad stretch of road and totalled their tour vehicle. All of them are safe and home now, but are left with some sizable bills and frustrations.

We offered to help, and never wanting a hand out, the boys figured they would play some acoustic songs, bbq some food, and we will pass the hat. We want to cover as much of their bills as we can because we love local bands and want them to get back out and represent our town as soon as they can.

So, I am personally asking that anyone who loves El Paso, loves music, loves Hope and Anchor, loves The Lusitania come by Sunday, December 11, 2011, from 7 pm til whenever and bring a couple bucks- buy their CD, donate $5 or more and show these guys that coming home to El Paso will always take care of them.

If you can’t make the show, you can also donate online by clicking on the Donate button below.

Thanks a million- see you Sunday
Jim
