Kindness Over Muscular Dystrophy Fund Raiser #KOMD

Posted onAuthorDinoLeave a comment

This past Saturday, Jake and the Mountain Men proudly donated their time to a worthy cause: The Kindness Over Muscular Dystrophy project is dedicated to finding a cure to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This was their first annual fundraiser, and it was a huge success!

KOMD PosterCaptain Lawrence Brewing Co. hosted the event in their spacious campus in Elmsford, NY. The event featured live music from yours truly and The KOMD Band, a live DJ, dinner, cornhole tournament, silent auction, raffle, and the release of a limited edition KOMD beer.

Some noteworthy food favorites of ours included Chez Lenard (specifically Le Hot Dog Garniture Suisse), Northern Smoke, Willy Nicks, and Croton Creek Steakhouse & Wine Bar (fried Philly Cheesesteaks? Don’t mind if I do!).

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy & KOMD raised 30k in ticket sales. Tickets were $100 each and sold out a month prior to the event! If you missed the opportunity to participate there are numerous ways you can help contribute to the cause.

Members of Jake and the Mountain Men were honored to join The KOMD Band in performing Tom Petty’s hit, “I Won’t Back Down,” in honor of the cause. Jake looks forward to returning to the Captain Lawrence campus some time in the near future. Stay tuned!

“Didn’t you guys just play Lucy’s?”
“Yeah. But they asked us to come back, so here we are!”

It’s only been 5 weeks since the last Lucy’s show, but we returned with a vengeance. It was a rainy night, so turnout was a bit low- but that didn’t discourage us one bit.

When we rolled into Lucy’s, we realized something was drastically different from our show in August: Where the hell did they put the fucking stage?

Not having the stage actually had its benefits; we spread out and took over the whole front of the bar. Folks who showed up were dancing and singing along to every song. One of them kept requesting Queen. So we played two Queen songs. Listen, you ask of Jake, we deliver. That’s just how it works.

Jake and the Mountain Men were extremely happy to debut Mr. Greg Saracino on the drums. He had a very short time to learn an awful lot of songs, and he totally nailed it!

After two face-melting sets, the audience still demanded more. To paraphrase:

“Play Journey!”– Lucy’s patron.
“We don’t know any… OK, fine…  JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL…“– Mussels.

We look forward to returning to Lucy’s very soon.
