There’s going to be a big benefit concert for Haiti in the Near Southside on March 27th.  To be held at Magnolia Green Park, Fort Worth Sings for Haiti will donate 100% of all money raised to Haitian relief efforts via Doctors Without Borders.

The artist lineup is being finalized, and will concentrate on Fort Worth-local talent.  The organizers met yesterday with Fort Worth South, Inc. and Red Oak Realty and have secured the use of Magnolia Green Park, located on Lipscomb between Magnolia and Rosedale in the Near Southside.  Early discussions we’ve heard point to this being a sizable event.

Plenty of details to come – for example, there are some plans for valet bicycle parking for attendees taking advantage of the site’s urban location (we were happy to help get those discussions underway with the promoters).  This ought to turn out to be a cool event for a great cause.

Fort Worth Sings can be contacted via e-mail.  Their web site currently loads a temporary blog while the full site is put together.  The effort is being led by a group of volunteers, led by co-founders Chris Maunder (owner of The Moon bar) and Christopher Lenzini.  Additional details can also be found on the organization’s Facebook page.
