End of Season Drive-In-Concert along with Mo' Mojo Band
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland, 21600 Shaker Blvd, Shaker Heights Ohio
Your donation will make it happen ! We did it before...We want to do it one more time! This is a fundraiser for musicians that can not do a solo show, please click on the link to make your donation at
https://ioby.org/project/end-season-drive-concert-moises-borges-brazilian-jazz-and-mo-mojo-band
on the heels of a successful event in August 2020 we created this EXCITING fundraiser for a second multicultural free admission DRIVE-IN CONCERT with two AWESOME full bands featuring MOISES BORGES BRAZILIAN JAZZ and MO' MOJO BAND, with the audience in their cars, so we keep social distancing and abide by the COVID-19 government recommendations. Two multinational full bands will play from a stage area for one hour and a half each.
The goal of this project is to financially support the side musician, like a drummer or a bass player, the ones that can not do a live show by themselves. Main act musicians might have an easier time getting by during the Covid-19 time by playing a solo show, although a sideman will have a harder time surviving or playing alone, that's why I want to hire full bands, so the sideman can work and get paid.
Watch a promo video of the two bands on the link below.
