LGBT Community Center Benefit
Saturday, Apr. 4 @ Hendershot's Coffee Bar
Hendershot’s hosts a benefit concert and silent auction Saturday featuring more than a dozen artists from all stylistic stripes.

The night will be hosted by local MC and LGBT activist Ricky Roberts, aka Ricky Simone, whose most recent album, Johnetta’s Daughter, is a touching tribute to Roberts’ late mother. Additional performers include folk duo The Skipperdees, long-running Athens rock outfit Carla Le Fever and the Rays, R&B songstresses Tashia Love and Repunza, rappers LG and Chrismis and many others.
