STS9 Pre-Party Tonight at Terrapin Brewery

To kick off Sound Tribe Sector 9's two nights of concerts in Athens, Terrapin Brewery is hosting the official STS9 concert pre-party tonight, April 20 from 5:30 - 7:30. The Atlanta-based, instrumental band is performing at The Classic Center in Athens tonight and tomorrow night at 9:00. The pre-party will benefit Rock Against Cancer, a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for children and teens diagnosed with cancer to gain emotional support through music. The organization uses music as a source of healing and comfort during the intense hours of chemotherapy, treatments, and procedures in the hospital and at home.

Here's what Public Relations Director, Paula Bryant has to say about this inspiring event:

STS9 will perform two nights at the Classic Center on April 20 and 21. David Murphy, bassist and member of STS9, was recently diagnosed with cancer.
