Kindness at Home: a Concert in Support of Housing

October 7, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Most of us are very fortunate and don’t have to worry about the roof over our heads or where we’ll be each night.  Not everyone is as fortunate.  There are still homeless, even in the suburbs and yes even in small towns.

We recently learned about the Kindness at Home: a Concert in Support of Housing an event taking place this Friday evening (Oct 12) in Bloomington at the Hyatt Regency from 6-9:30.  This concert is part of The Kindness Concert Experience, celebrating the power of music all around the Twin Cities now through the end of October.  

Admission price includes great music, food, and fellowship.  The Untouchables, Travla, and Antonio Jackson will be performing.  The advance tickets can be purchased here.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind celebration of music, kindness, and community. Enjoy great food and inspiring music by Travla and The Untouchables. We are inviting people who are experiencing housing difficulties and will have a few brief speakers, including Lydia Marie and Mr. Law, who has been supporting people with housing difficulties for many years and founded 363 Days.  The goal is to have a lot of fun while raising awareness, providing support, and increasing our sense of community.  The event includes a raffle and a community market. If you are able, please bring warm clothing, including socks, mittens, gloves, and sweatshirts, TENTS, warm sleeping bags, books, and toiletries for the market. Brought to you by The Kindness Concert Experience, Inclusivi-tee, and Promotional Sponsor, The American Institute of Architects. Held at the Hyatt Regency in Bloomington.

Seating is in the 200-level and tickets are $54.99 each with a limit of 8 tickets per person. You must purchase tickets together to sit together.

TSO’s Christmas Present: The Ghosts of Christmas Eve, which tells the musical story of a young runaway who encounters ghostly visions after breaking into an abandoned vaudeville theater on Christmas Eve, and features electrified takes on “O’ Come All Ye Faithful,” “O Holy Night,” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” The show received such rave reviews that TSO chose to bring it back and crank it up to 11 with an all-new second set of the group’s greatest hits, plus its trademark spectacle of pyrotechnics, lights, and lasers.

TSO’s Christmas Past: For more than 20 years, TSO has proven that Christmas and cranked-up guitars go hand in hand like Santa’s milk and cookies. 2017 was the group’s most successful tour to date, and they are ready to rock 2018.

TSO’s Christmas Future: As Trans-Siberian Orchestra further cements its place among the world’s top touring rock acts, expect more cutting edge theatrics from the band that brought you “Rock Theater.”
