Five local bands come together to perform at Jimmy's Saloon while a few hundred people sat back and enjoyed the music all while supporting a good cause, MS Society of New England and the Scrap Dogs - a group of men and women that has come together to raise awareness and funds for MS.
The Scrap Dogs also sold raffle rickets and pizza slices. The raffle prizes were gift certificates made by local business that included Flint Audio Video, Portobellos Jewelers, Big Mama's Music, Brick Alley Pub, Barking Crab, Island Cinemas, Island Surf and Skate, West Main Pizza and a Celtics framed collectible from Sports Memorabalia, 6 lobsters from Aquidneck Lobster, a gift basket from Beach House Newport. Pizza was provided by West Main Pizza and Pizza Hollywood.
First up on line up was Bloody Knuckles who entertained a full house of adults and children alike. Big Cat Blues followed next with a great set of bluesy music. US went next playing covers that everyone enjoyed. After a quick drum change, Braman's Lane played a mix of orginal music and covers followed by the new heavy metal band Dawn of the Demon.
About fifteen members of the Viking Riders, a local group of motorcycle riders that is a non profit organization dedicated to helping those in need, presented the Scrap Dogs with a donation of $150.00 and also stayed and enjoyed the music.
The event was a huge success. The house was packed with local newport residents, old friends and lots of new ones and the amount raised for this charity by those people is greatly appreciated by the Scrap Dogs and especially by the MS Society New England Chapter.
