Back in February 2008, producer Scotty Hard was partially paralyzed in a car accident. He incurs ongoing expenses and to night a number of his friends and associates will perform a benefit in his honor. John Medeski and Billy Martin will headline the show in New York City’s East Village at DROM. In addition to this performance by Mago, which will be part of the Music Frees All Festival, the evening will offer an afrobeat jam lead by EMEFE (with members of Antibalas), Ben Perowsky’s Moodswing Orchestra, Nyle x Naysayers, Mokaad, plus DJ Afro-Marc. All proceeds will be directed to the Scotty Hard Trust, with doors set to open at 7:30.
