\"ToysLocal music groups Gerry and the Dreambenders<\/i><\/a> and Jake Leg<\/i><\/a> have teamed up for the 5th<\/sup> Annual Toys for Tots Fundraiser on Friday, December 8 at the Sapphire Room. Toys for Tots<\/a> is the United States Marine Corp’s project to supply disadvantaged children whose parents cannot afford toys with presents for Christmas. Boise has their own local organization, Toys for Tots\u00a0Boise<\/a><\/strong>, that handles our local area. Toys for Tots has been an integral part of the U.S Marines since 1947.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Toys for Tots Boise show will open with hi energy local favorites, Jake Leg<\/i>. Mike Witmer, bass player for Jake Leg,<\/i> said \u201cJake Leg<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> is excited to be able to give back to the community by playing with <\/span><\/span><\/span>Gerry and the Dreambenders<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> to support the Marine Corps’ “Toys for Tots” program. We’ll be playing our high energy selection of danceable blues music.\u201d If you have never seen a <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jake Leg<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> show, be prepared for great music and an exciting performance. Following <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jake Leg<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, Gabe Dunn from Radio Boise will provide a comic interlude guaranteed to please everyone. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span>The Toys for Tots Boise Fundraiser is the brainchild of Mike Wallace, who fronts the headlining <\/span><\/span><\/span>Gerry and the Dreambenders<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>. Mike is very passionate about causes he believes in and said: \u201cThere are five causes that I care about and I am fortunate that the people in my band feel the same way. The five causes that matter to us are blind kids, food for people for Thanksgiving celebrations, underprivileged kids, breast cancer and veterans, especially Vietnam veterans. What we want to do, in the winter months we use the opportunity to help people. We love to play, so why not do that and help people?\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mike added, \u201cThe Marines have been fantastic. First Sgt. Nichols is the guy who we deal with and he is just fantastic. The Sapphire Room folks are all pros, they know what it takes to put something like this on and it goes like clockwork.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Gerry and the Dreambenders<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> has a unique take on the music they play. As Mike said, \u201cWe bill ourselves as the Northwest’s only genuine British Invasion Rock ‘n’ Roll Tribute Band. We play music mostly from the British Invasion era—it isn’t all British bands. So in addition to the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Beatles<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Hollies<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span><\/span>Gerry and the Pacemakers<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, we do songs by the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Byrds<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Lovin’ Spoonful<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2014the American bands that seemed to be part of the British Invasion. We also creep a little out of that era, we do one <\/span><\/span><\/span>Neil Young<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> song, several <\/span><\/span><\/span>Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> tunes, not because they fit chronologically but because thematically the sound works.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He described the Toys for Tots Boise show, saying \u201cOur mission is to create for people who weren’t there, or recreate for people who were there, what it was like to go to a rock and roll show in 1965. Except for those times when we stray off the reservation a little bit! So it’s suits and ties and playing Rickenbacker guitars and Gretsch guitars and Fender guitars and Vox amplifiers. Our drummer’s got a beautiful set of Rogers drums. So we look the part; and we try to tackle songs that the rest of the bands of guys our age don’t do.\u201d Indeed, t<\/span><\/span><\/span>he individual members of the band hail from all points of the compass, and have played shows with such world-renowned music heavyweights as <\/span><\/span><\/span>Paul Revere & the Raiders<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Steppenwolf<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Merrilee & the Turnabouts<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Boxtops<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Shirelles<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Kingsmen<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Uriah Heep<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Coasters<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Association<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Johnny Rivers <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>and many others.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The event promises to be a fun one with plenty of music and dancing. Of primary importance, however is the cause. By providing toys that are new and unwrapped, the Marines and Toys for Tots can help make the holidays happy for children who otherwise might not get anything. And if you would prefer, a cash donation will go a long ways too, so open your checkbook and help make Christmas a happy one for some deserving kids. You’ll feel good about it!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His wine escapades have taken him to Napa, Sonoma, the Willamette Valley and Idaho's Sunnyslope wine Trail. And he's had beer all over the world! Music is another of Ed's passions, writing and interviewing many classic rock, rock and blues musicians. Getting the great stories of road experiences from them is a particular delight. Traveling also fits in with Ed's writing, exploring all over to find the most interesting places to visit, even in out of the way areas.

Whether he's looking for the best ceviche in Colombia, the best poke in Hawaii, the best tequila in Jalisco or the best Taiwanese Beef Roll in Los Angeles and Banh Mi in Ho Chi Minh City; it's all good food! He also loves a good drink. He's had Mai Tais in Hawaii, Bourbon in Kentucky, Tequila in Mexico and Rum in Jamaica. His wine escapades have taken him to Napa, Sonoma, the Willamette Valley and Idaho's Sunnyslope wine Trail. And he's had beer all over the world! Music is another of Ed's passions, writing and interviewing many classic rock, rock and blues musicians. Getting the great stories of road experiences from them is a particular delight. Traveling also fits in with Ed's writing, exploring all over to find the most interesting places to visit, even in out of the way areas. Ed lives in Boise and is searching for the best finger steaks in town.","url":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/author\/edsails\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2107"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2117,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2107\/revisions\/2117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
