Bill’s Birthday Bash in January: Hot Tuna, David Bromberg

CHARITABLE CAUSE, CLASSIC MUSICIANS

The 2012 Bill’s Birthday Bash will take place at The Fillmore in San Francisco on Saturday, January 7th, one day before what would have been Bill Graham’s 81st birthday. This year’s line-up features Hot Tuna (electric), David Bromberg and DJ Harry Duncan.

There will be a silent auction in the Poster Room featuring lots of great items including a guitar signed by Santana, Metallica posters from the recent 30th anniversary shows signed by the band, and much much more.

This evening is a benefit for the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation. Formed in January of 2008, in memory of the legendary rock impresario, the Foundation is a public charity that is funded through individual and corporate contributions and grants, and is guided by a broad-based group which includes Bill’s sons, several former long-time employees of Bill Graham Presents and other community leaders.

A mission of the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation is the giving of grants primarily in the areas of music, the arts and education, while also supporting social work, environmental protection, and spiritual and compassionate projects in our community. In this spirit, the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation seeks to assist those whose needs are often times not served by larger philanthropic organizations.
