MARR & Wasabi Team Up in the Fight Against Muscular Dystrophy

The Wasabi Bros have done a lot of benefit shows in their time, and have included a variety of causes, from finding a cure to juvenile diabetes to spreading animal abuse awareness.

It is a firmly held belief by all in the House of Wasabi that compassion and goodwill are just as essential to Rock 'n Roll as loud music and frosty beverages.  In fact, Wasabi has performed at over 100 benefits in the last fifteen years!

So naturally, when our friends over at Mid-Atlantic Rock Reviews invited Wasabi to join forces for their first annual MARR Rocks for MDA Concert, the boys were excited and honored to be included in such an important event (read Kemo's letter here).

MARR Rocks for MDA will take place at the American Legion Post 60 in Laurel, MD on Saturday, October 6th.  Admission is $10 at the door, and all proceeds will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to help combat this devastating disorder that affects 400-600 children every year.

This show has been over six months in the making, and will feature TEN of Maryland's finest local bands to keep you rocking all day and all night long!  Wasabi will be taking the stage at 9:00PM to perform their FULL SET!

We believe that Rock 'n Roll can change the world, and we sincerely hope to see you this Saturday!

A Personal Message from Kaptain Kemo

Summer of 1989... this was my first benefit concert.  MDA [Muscular Dystrophy Association] Summer Camp Highroad.  What an incredible experience!  The most grateful kids I have ever played for.  Because of the handicapped inaccessibility of venue's in the 80's, children in wheelchairs never got the chance to go to a live rock concert.  This was the only concert they saw their entire lives!  It was a true honor!

And so my fellow SAMURAI... 23 years later, the fight goes on...

I ask you to join WASABI on Saturday, October 6th - 8PM at the American Legion Post 60 in Laurel, Maryland.  Come out and be part of a GREAT THING!
