Gallery Director takes the stage with music legends

This past Sunday La Familia Gallery Music Director, Rebeqa Rivers, took to the Showbox in the Market stage to join an epically star-studded lineup for the Hootenanny For Haiti benefit concert. Jam-packed with shredding solos from greats like Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and Duff McKagen (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, Loaded) the concert was set up living-room style, giving the feel of a cozy family jam. Check out the full show review from Ear Candy:

Some of Seattle's finest put on one helluva hootenanny at Showbox at the Market to help victims of the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January.

A hootenanny by definition is pretty much an informal participatory musical gathering of friends and family where everyone either plays instrument or sings along to their favorite songs. And that's exactly what was delivered Sunday night right down to the stage decor, which included several couches and votive candles for lighting.

The show had a very casual down home feel but this was no family jamboree. The musicians on stage were some of the biggest stars Seattle has contributed to rock 'n' roll including Mike McCready, Duff McKagan, Matt Cameron and Kim Warnick to name a few. It was like you were being invited into a living room of local legends for a jam session in the form of a near three-hour concert that contained so many major players from the local music scene, both past and present, that all of them couldn't be contained on the stage. It was an awesome mix of the old guard teaming up with some of the city's fastest-rising talent for an unforgettable night.
