Strung Out Like tire
at Christmastime Empty
Stocking Fund Benefit
The Office Lounge
Glee be to many children this
year as Dodd Ferrelle recruits his
friends in charitable grooving
once again. The second annual
Strung Out Lite the Lights at
Christmastime benef L concert for
The Empty Stocking Fund is all
set for Friday night at the Office •
Lounge. ; > v\ ^\V .
last year, Ferrelle gathered a handful of local musicians and raised over $1,300 for
The Empty Stocking Fund, an Atlanta-based charity that provides Christmas gifts for
underprivileged children. Last year the fund gave gifts to over 50,000 kids.
Additionally, Ferrelle says, "This fund also helps someone in our city pay a light bill or
stay in their apartment or homej>r buy groceries for their kids every day, and I want to
be a part of that as long as I am here," says Ferrelle.
Many of the musicians playing Friday are associated with the Athens Music Collective,
which means a lot of intermingling between acts, and what is certain to be a fun and
familiar atmosphere. "There is no divide between performer and fan, which is the way a
benefit should be. The community working together as one,* says Ferrelle.
Ferrelle's own band will play, as well as Romper Stompers, the kid-friendly and child
hood-influenced side project featuring Todd Nance (Widespread Panic), Oanny Hutchens
(Bloodkin) and William tonks. Local Southern rock luminaries Bloodkin will play along
