Through collective efforts and the help of friends, Nederland Colorado band Elephant Revival has put together a benefit night at The Boulder Theater on Feb. 5 th.The event will directly benefit The Buffalo Heart Project (BHP). The BHP is a newly created emergency heating and utility assistance program for the elderly, disabled, and sick on the Lakota Reservations, particularly Pine Ridge Reservation, in South Dakota.
Front Range musicians Elephant Revival, Boulder Acoustic Society, Laura Goldhamer & The Silver Nail and Reed Foehl of Acoustic Junction will come together for a night of musical celebration; raising awareness and funds for the start-up non-profit founded by Atashnaa Werner, also of Nederland. Seattle musician and topical songwriter Jim Page will emcee the evening, as well as play songs from his vast repertoire. A silent auction is planned, as well as other offerings to be announced. All proceeds of the evening will directly benefit the Buffalo Heart Project; a Colorado 501(c)(3) non-profit to aid in startup costs of the organization.
Bringing people together through music, The Buffalo Heart Project envisions this first event to be a great inauguration for the organization. The event will serve as a seed of awareness for change in regards to the plight of American Indian communities, especially on the Pine Ridge Reservation. As BHP founder Atashnaa Werner explains, “The event will be an investment in hope for the future of the families on Pine Ridge.”
