Great show, great cause, sad circumstances. This Friday, four Nashville bands are playing the Belcourt Theatre to benefit the Oasis Center Bike Workshop and pay tribute to their friend, Schuyler Vassen. A former Belcourt employee, Vassen died from a tragic bike accident Sept. 14.
Colorfeels, Buffalo Clover, The Grayces and Jessica Breanne & The Electric Hearts are on the bill and hope to raise awareness about the importance of wearing a helmet (Vassen, sadly, was not).
All proceeds from the show will go toward buying helmets, toolkits, etc. for the Oasis Center Bike Workshop. Created by the Oasis Center and Halcyon Bike Shop, the workshop is a free, six-week program that provides bikes and education on safe bike riding to underprivileged Nashville kids.
Prizes include a Halcyon bike, helmets designed by local artists and much more donated from Nashville stores, bars and restaurants. The show is at 9:30, and tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Learn more about the event and purchase tickets here.
