As you may know, we lost one of our beloved Minnesota musicians a few weeks ago, Mike Larsen. However, you may recognize him as Eyedea from the Rhymesayers family. Minneapolis music fans were shocked and saddened by the surprise
His First Avenue family is throwing a benefit to help his family with the costs of his funeral and burial expenses. First Avenue tickets are $20 for this show and all proceeds go to Eyedea's family. First Avenue is donating 10% of all liquor sales from their bar next door, The Depot. Thankfully this should leave Eyedea's family with over $20,000+ dollars to cover these unexpected expenses.
First Avenue and Rhymesayers have been very mum on the subject as to who will be performing at this benefit, but the line up will be ideal for any Minnesota Rhymesayers music fan. First Avenue tickets were sold out online for quite sometime but a few more were just released. If the Eyedea benefit show is one you want to go to, good luck finding First Avenue tickets - they will sell out.
Celebrate life, Celebrate the good times.
