As the fatigue of the pandemic has us all fried from the steady heartache and suffering caused by COVID-19, the local community of givers needs our help more now than maybe ever. My friends from Seattle band All Star Opera (new music out now) have helped organize a months long food drive, 'Music with a Message'.
Seth McDonald of All Star Opera and Seattle World Tour Foundation hit me up pumped about what they've accomplished with a request to give it another bump toward the finish line:
"We are in the final week of a 3 month campaign called the, 'Music with a Message' Food Drive & Fundraiser via our Seattle World Tour Foundation (now a nonprofit through Allied Arts which is an update since we last spoke) and we're well over a 1,000 lbs of food raised for Rainier Valley Food Bank + over $5,000 raised for RVFB and South King County / Eastside COVID Mutual Aid to split. Exceeding our food and fundraising goals by quite a bit!"

Along the way, they've been sharing some beautiful performances - one per week for twelve weeks - culminating in All Star Opera's own highlight.
Other performances include Seattle artists Sol, La Fonda, King Youngblood and more that you can watch here.
