Pickin' for Peace

Sunday, Oct. 18 @ The Foundry

Rick Fowler Band

Yes, as it turns out, we can all get along, or at least we can try: To commemorate National Conflict Resolution Month, the Athens-based nonprofit Georgia Conflict Center, which “works to promote peacemaking by teaching nonviolent communication skills and restorative justice practices,” hosts a benefit show Sunday featuring live music, a silent auction, art and more. The tunes will be provided by long-running local blues outfit Rick Fowler Band, which has slowly but surely returned to action following Fowler’s 2014 health troubles. Money from ticket sales (which are only $10 for students) as well as the auction will go toward supporting the Conflict Center’s planned expansion.

6 p.m. $20. thefoundryathens.com
