Todd Rocks! Benefit Concert - House of Blues Anaheim | February 1st, 2010
Late last fall, Todd Larsen, a young music teacher who just founded the Irvine Music Academy and a 14-year veteran coach in the 2,000+ member Irvine Swim League, was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. In response to the shocking news, Larsen’s immediate, lengthy hospitalization, and in an effort to support Larsen’s wife and infant son, the OC community has rallied to raise funds to offset the costs of his expected year-long, aggressive cancer treatments.
On Monday, February 1st, the public is invited to support Larsen by attending a benefit concert at the House of Blues Anaheim (Downtown Disney).
Hosted by 95.5 KLOS-FM’s Uncle Joe Benson, the evening will feature special performances by Vivian Campbell, guitarist for Def Leppard and Whitesnake; Mark Schulman, the drummer for Pink, Beyonce, and Sheryl Crow; and Jon Abrams, the star of Broadway’s “Movin’ Out.”
In a unique way to help this popular music teacher while gaining stage experience, young pupils from Larsen’s “School of Rock” at the Irvine Music Academy will share the stage with professional musicians. Student bands including 10 Fold, Chix Rule, Out of Order, and Vicious Beat are scheduled to perform. A live and silent auction and raffle will round out the evening’s entertainment.
