ALL PROCEEDS TO GO TO Haitian Earthquake Relief.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) — Des Moines-based folk-country rock band The Nadas have joined the growing legion of artists and celebrities who are putting any support that they can towards the relief funds for the Haitian Earthquake victims and survivors.

The bands new album, Almanac, is set for release on March 16th through Authentic Records and included on this unique album is a poignant song called “Wrecking Ball”.  Eerily, the lyrics reflect much of what is happening right now with the victims and rescue workers after the devastating earthquake struck Haiti earlier this week.  “If we stand together….” sings frontman Mike Butterworth.  “All we really want is to stand united. All we really need is to just hold on, And we’ll withstand colliding with this human wrecking ball…If I could take away the things that bring you pain; if I could make the sun shine through the pouring rain.” continue reading »

8:00 pm $15 in advance $18 at the door.
