It is almost time for our 2nd annual Band Build! Band Build is a benefit concert showcasing local bands with all ticket sales to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Omaha. The event is Saturday, January 28th 7:30 PM – 1:00 AM at the Waiting Room Lounge. Tickets are $10 in advance (at www.onepercentproductions.com) and $12 at the door.
I have to tell you that I’m very excited about our lineup this year which once again includes some of the best bands in Omaha! We have Rock Paper Dynamite (southern rock/grunge), Gus & Call (psychedelic/folk/country), Great American Desert (folk), Pancho & the Contraband (rock n roll), and O’Connell’s Bridge (Irish folk). With a diverse lineup like this there should be something for everyone to enjoy, no matter your taste in music.
Band Build is also more than just a concert, the event will also include:
- A Habitat Omaha and YP group information table for those who want to learn more about our organization.
- Speakers between bands including a habitat partner family and habitat staff.
- Homemade pulled pork sandwiches for sale (made by one of our members, Mike, who is a GREAT cook).
- A raffle of items donated by local businesses (prizes include 2 season tickets to Creighton men’s bball, a 1 night stay in a Omaha Marriott Suite with breakfast at the Chop House, see the sponsor list below for more.)
- Habitat t-shirts and koozies for sale.
All Proceeds from all these sales will go directly to Habitat Omaha.
