On May 2nd, Cyclone Nargis ripped through the country of Burma, leaving tens of thousands dead and millions more severely impacted by the storm’s destruction and at risk of thirst, hunger and disease. Aid efforts by the humanitarian community have been largely blocked by the ruling military junta, threatening a situation of catastrophic proportions. SPACE Gallery, partnering with Peace Action Maine and the US Campaign for Burma present an evening of words and music by some of Portland’s most talented musicians. The growing list includes: Chriss Sutherland (Fire On Fire), Christopher Teret, Dave Noyes (Rustic Overtones, Seekonk), Doug Cowan (Bullyclub), Jeremy Alexander (An Evening With), Micah Blue Smaldone, Sara Cox and Sontiago. All door proceeds will go, under the US Campaign for Burma’s direction, to reliable relief efforts within Burma.
