Joel Mabus, a nationally renowned folk musician, together with several Michigan folk artists will be playing a concert to benefit the organization International Child Care in Haiti. The concert will take place at the Kalamazoo Valley Community College Auditorium in Texas Twp. at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are a suggested $20 donation per person, or $50 for a family of four.
Mabus has been touring for 30 years as a folk musician, and played songs from his 18 albums at famous venues like the Vancouver Folk Festival.
Michigan folk artist Rachel Davis won a Boston Music Award for best new singer-songwriter in 2002, as well as the grand prize in the troubadour contest at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
