But the benefit closest to the rock & rollers’ hearts is their Kids In Distress Rock and Roll Benefit. “We put the Kids In Distress Benefit together from top to bottom,” says Gorilla Koppisch, RIFF RAFF’s bass and vocalist. For the second year in a row, Gorilla, along with band-mates Tim Brown (guitar and vocals) and Steve Dewey (drummer) have organized a rock & roll music and fine art show benefiting South Florida children. Gorilla explains, “It’s important to give back to the community, and we do it in our rock & roll way.” To start off this benefit, the members RIFF RAFF have pledged their entire gig's pay to the Kids In Distress organization. Along with RIFF RAFF’s unique style of rock & roll covers, the classic rock band, Dr. Strong, will also be on hand to rock the crowd. Many other local musicians are planned to perform. In addition to the great music, there will be a silent fine art auction. Well-known local artists have donated fabulous music themed artworks for this great cause. End
