“Keepin’ the Faith,” which starts tonight at 9 p.m. at the U Street Music Hall, was organized shortly after a doctor told Stereo Faith that he had a tumor in his ear canal. He is scheduled to undergo brain surgery on Friday, Aug. 13.
“[Neurologists] said that they’re pretty sure it’s benign and not malignant. only a biopsy, after they take it out, will determine 100% if it’s benign,” Stereo Faith told Mishka Bloglin.
While there’s no cover charge for the concert, organizers suggest donating $5, which will go towards Stereo Faith’s medical bills. (A percentage of bar and food purchases will also go toward the expenses.)
It’s not just for a good cause, though; they’ll be some damn fun music tonight too. The concert features Tittsworth spinning drum and bass, Will Eastman spinning indie, rock, and post-punk, Scottie B spinning disco and house classics, Dava Nada, Jerome Baker III, and rapper Tabi Bonney.
