Concerts for a Cause - Featuring Ellis Paul with special guest 2GB Sponsored by FairWinds Advisors

Concerts for a Cause was born from the mutual desire to give back to our community and the love of live music.

The August 27th Concert  for a Cause will feature Boston's Ellis Paul and Indy's own Two Guitars and a Box as the opening act.  

Ellis Paul is one of the most prolific and accomplished folk-rock singer songwriters in the country.  He has won the prestigious Boston Music Award 15 times, has released 19 CDs, and plays 150-200 shows a year all around the world.  He is equal parts poet, guitarist, singer and entertainer.  He is also the author of a critically acclaimed children's book and has had many of his songs featured on movie soundtracks.

Two Guitars and a Box is a four piece acoustic band that features outstanding three part harmonies on a variety of rock, country and blues hits. They play venues all around Indy and are always a big hit live.
