Bring Back the Light: Emergency Fund for Drummer Dave Dawson

Dave Dawson, a gifted drummer and generous soul in our music community, has always shown up for others — playing countless gigs, jams, and benefit shows, lending his time and talent without hesitation.

Now, Dave needs our help.

Due to unexpected financial hardship, Dave has been living without electricity for nearly three months. He’s done all he can — applying for emergency assistance, navigating endless red tape — but the system has failed him. His home remains in darkness, and the situation is growing more dire by the day.

We’re raising $5,000 to restore his power and bring some much-needed relief. Every dollar helps, and every share spreads the word further.

Let’s rally for someone who’s brought rhythm, warmth, and heart to our lives. If Dave’s ever made you smile, tap your foot, or feel the groove — this is the time to give back.

Donate now. Share widely. Let’s get Dave back in the light.
