2) Jim Donovan & Sun King Warriors are holding a special fundraising concert this month at Moondog’s with opportunities to support the production costs of recording a new album. Donovan and the band’s previous album is 2018’s We See Through It. They describe it by saying, “It illustrates the transformational power of music. Featuring ten songs that span genres and eras ̧ the sound of the new album blends the vintage rock sound of Zeppelin with the alternative folk of Mumford & Sons propelled by barreling drums.” Several songs from the album garnered good radio airplay. The group stays very active in the region. Attendees can sponsor 1/4 hour studio time for $25, 1/2 hour studio time – $50, 1 hour of studio time – $100. Doors open at 6 p.m. Show starts at 7 p.m. The first set will be acoustic; the second set will be electric. The performance will be followed by a meet and greet. 378 Freeport Rd., Blawnox. (R.H.)
