SADS Benefit Concert Series – LIVE 333!

CredibleMeds and the SADS Foundation have joined forces to present a benefit concert series featuring acclaimed roots music singer/songwriter Jeff Black titled “Live in 333” throughout 2013.

By partnering together, CredibleMeds and the SADS Foundation have created a groundbreaking program that connects SADS patients – who have an inherited risk of sudden death – with those who support them through music, a universal voice.

These benefit shows will be presented quarterly throughout 2013 and streamed live online in 333, Black’s virtual stage to the world. 333 is named for the infamous speakeasy that once occupied Black’s cellar in historic Nashville. Each show will feature Black and a special music guest.

The inaugural show was streamed live on Saturday, Dec. 1 and featured legendary Americana artist David Olney.

So stay tuned for the next concert! You can also sign up on the emailing list to be notified for future concerts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/SADS-Sudden-Arrhythmia-Death-Syndromes-Foundation/194665999753?sk=app_384490801624951.
