Dance & Benefit Show to Hit Denver Harbor-

You may have seen flyers pop up in the last week in your favorite local restaurants - like Los Jacales- or while doing some shopping at Sol Supermarket, but many of you do not know the story behind the event that is hitting Emilianos off I-10 in DH this weekend.

A big BBQ & Dance Benefit is taking place right off of Wayside Drive for a man called 'Big Phil' by his friends and compadres on Sunday, February 22, 2009. Big Phil has been involved with several local tejano, cumbia, and other Spanish bands over the past years being one of the great ears in the sound tech department. Late last year in 2008, Big Phil had to have his leg amputated due to complications with diabeties and an accident. Eight groups, including Los Gavilanes de la Cumbia, Avizo, & la raza connection are scheduled to play from Noon to Midnight at this big benefit in hopes of raising money & support for Big Phil.

Julio of Los Gavilanes de la Cumbia said "He's been helping us with sound and knows alot of artists in the area, and it's just a way for us to help him out with whatever hospital or other expenses he is having to deal with now." Besides getting to hear a great variety of local bands, the event also promises live DJ's on the 1's & 2's, drink specials, raffles, moonwalks for the kiddos, and BBQ Plates for only $6!

We are wishing Julio & the rest of the people that have been working hard to organize this big event a huge success and turnout. So, come out, enjoy the live music, get yourself a few BBQ plates, and bring the kids! Show your support to community efforts to organize & bring great things like this to our neighborhood & more importantly, for Big Phil!
