Two Wheel Driver Announces Bands For Benefit Concert

Oct. 9, 2008 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA – TWO WHEEL dRIVER, a project fusing motorcycles, golf, and music to raise money for local cancer causes announced today the music lineup for the project’s benefit concert being held on October 23rd at Smith’s Olde Bar. Headlining the show will be Athens based Shot From Guns (with Bain Mattox), second on the bill will be The Beggar’s Guild (Atlanta, GA), and opening the show will be The Wrights (Nashville, TN).

“We feel great about this lineup,” says Chris Tanner, head of operations for TWO WHEEL dRIVER.  “We not only found bands that were interested in raising money for local cancer causes, but artists with the type of talent that will showcase well for filming purposes.  In layman’s terms, these are impressive artists.”

The benefit concert will take place at Smith’s Olde Bar on Thursday, October 23, 2008.  Doors will open at 8pm with the cover being $10. The Wrights hit the stage at 9pm, followed by The Beggars’ Guild at 10pm and closing out with Shot From Guns (with Bain Mattox) at 11pm.  The concert will be preceded with a charity golf tournament at Wolf Creek Golf Course on Wednesday, October 22nd.  Fifty percent of the proceeds raised from this two day event will go to The Randee Foundation, Inc., a non-profit Georgia corporation making the donation to The Georgia Center for Total Cancer Care in Blairsville, GA (the facility where some original TWd promotional footage was shot during the summer of 2007).  The remaining fifty percent will go to fund TWO WHEEL dRIVER, LLC as it continues production to reach higher donation goals in 2009.

Mark Augustyn, the project’s founder adds, “We’re going to have a great night of music with three great bands helping to raise money for a great cause.”  Bain Mattox, winner of the first Open Mic Madness competition (at Smith’s Olde Bar) back in 2002, has established himself as a fantastic multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, The Beggar’s Guild has a growing buzz since recently wowing the crowd at the Atlantis Music Conference, and The Wrights (featuring the dynamic duo of Adam and Shannon) will bring their Alan Jackson lineage, instantly notching the whole show into high gear.

The TWO WHEEL dRIVER crew will also lead a motorcycle ride on Thursday, October 23 from The Vortex in Little 5 Points to Smith’s Olde Bar in midtown.  The ride will leave The Vortex at 8pm.
