“F.o.R.” (Friends of Richie) Benefit
Richie Hass is an amazing multi-instrumentalist musician.
Alumnus of Zoogz Rift’s band, he is best known these days for playing in Saccharine Trust and also with Joe Baiza’s universal congress - probably the top vibraphonist in southern California.
Richie was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, and since he is a self employed musician, he has no health insurance.
The L.A. music community was rocked back on their heels by this news. Everybody loves Richie. So we musicians, together with the IMF, are putting together a benefit in Richie’s honor. And while the benefit is being held in Richie’s honor, he has opted to donate the proceeds to the international Myeloma Foundation for much-needed research to find the cure for this disease.
